Governor Bello said that the category of civil servants who were earlier asked to work from home following the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country are to continue to remain at home as part of measures to contain the spread of the deadly disease into the state.
He urged workers and indeed, all citizens of the state to continue to observe all the preventive measures against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic particularly, regular washing of hands, use of hand sanitizers, the use of face masks and observance of social distancing.
The governor urged the workers in the state to use the occasion of the May Day which also coincides with this year’s Ramadan fast to pray fervently to God to bring a quick end to the pandemic and total socioeconomic recovery for the nation and world at large.
