Speaking after the state executive council meeting on Monday, Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, said the council also approved that residents be given two weeks ultimatum for vaccination, after which evidence of vaccination will be criteria to access churches, mosques, hospitals and other public places, including government offices.
“Aside all existing protocols, all residents in the state must be vaccinated with effect from two weeks from now. After the expiration, evidence of vaccination will be the condition to access public places, churches, mosques. The Head of Service has been mandated to drive this process in the public service,” Ojogo stressed.
