A leader of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Mr Armstrong Akintunde, has lauded Governor Dapo Abiodun for his efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
While commending the governor for allowing windows of relaxation during the lockdown, he said the strategy had eased the pain of about 80 per cent of residents who depended on daily earnings for their survival.
Akintunde said, “Governor Abiodun has indeed made far-reaching decisions to flatten the curve of the virus with proactive measures such as the setting up of three isolation centres and COVID-19 treatment centres across the state, the establishment of molecular laboratory for quick access to coronavirus testing as well as the distribution of food items to ease the lockdown pain.”
He lamented that successive governments had done little or nothing to empower the youths to enable them to contribute to the development of the country.
He urged the people of the state to keep on observing the World Health Organisation guidelines such as social distancing rule, washing of hands with soap and use of alcohol-based sanitizers as well as wearing of face masks to halt the spread of the deadly virus.
