The Chairman of the committee, who is the Vice Chairman of the Local Government, Hon. Idris Abubakar Olusegun, while addressing, reporters in his interview said, “The essence of shutting down the markets is to send forth a clear message that the administration of Engr. Dr. Valentine Buraimoh will do everything in its capacity to stop the surge of the spread of COVID-19 in our Local Government Area”.
“We have trained, sensitized, appealed to them to do the needful by observing all the safety protocols in the interest of our communities. But their recalcitrant attitude necessitated today’s action.”
