GOVERNOR YAHAYA BELLO LIFTS LOCKDOWN, INSISTS KOGI IS COVID-19 FREE
Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has lifted the lockdown earlier imposed on Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area over COVID-19 scare.
Governor Bello earlier imposed a two-week lockdown on June 1 as a “proactive” measure after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control’s announcement that another COVID-19 case was recorded in the LGA.
While speaking at the Government House in Lokoja today, Governor Bello said he is lifting the lockdown because all the tests carried out by the health workers in the local government came back negative.
