[COVID-19] AbdulRazaq: It’s time to take responsibility
The Kwara State Governor, Mall AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Monday said it is time for every individual to take responsibility in the campaign against community transmission of the novel coronavirus, directing the 193 wards across the state to form their own committees to deepen enlightenment on the COVID-19 pandemic.
The governor’s spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye, in a statement sent to THE INFORMANT247 said, “The Governor says the time calls for everyone to take responsibility for our collective safety. He, therefore, encourages all the wards in the state to form their own COVID-19 committees. They can pattern their own committees after the template already established at the state level.
“They can have various subcommittees especially in the area of public enlightenment on COVID-19 and how to prevent its spread, and how to support those who are the hardest hit by the stay-at-home directive in their areas.”
The statement said the main focus is for “our people to take ownership of the campaign against the spread of the virus in their respective communities and areas of influence”.
The government meanwhile has commended the Federal Government for the technical and material supports being offered to Kwara State, including the recent donation of one ventilator and three oxygen concentrators by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), an agency under the Federal Ministry of Transportation.
