He commended scholars in their efforts during the hey days of the pandemic in the state and beyond. Explaining that, their continued prayers and observance of COVID-19 protocols as given by health professionals, is commendable as well.
“Your Excellency we are very grateful and appreciative of the efforts you have been putting in responding to this pandemic. What the state government is doing is highly commendable.
So also what the state is doing in cushioning the effects of the lockdown, through distribution of palliatives, in the state, is indeed commendable. As being experienced world over,” said Emir Bayero.
