Nasarawa Governor, Abdullahi Sule has decried the increasing cases of COVID-19 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT ) describing the situation as worrisome not only to the government but the entire people of the state.
According to the governor, the proximity of the state to the nation’s capital has placed the state in a prone situation for easy contact.
Governor Sule who spoke during a television programme and monitored in Lafia said it has become a source of concern each time cases of COVID-19 pandemic was mentioned especially in the FCT
“As a matter of fact, it worries me and does not excite me each time I hear of a reported case of COVID-19 pandemic in the country especially in the FCT because the greatest number of lower workers in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja lived and worked in the nation’s capital.
“Though as a responsible and responsive government, as a people, we are not relenting as we are battle-ready to tackle the pandemic in the state.
“Majority of the people in Abuja and Nasarawa have one or two things to do either in Abuja or in Nasarawa.
A lot of them travel in and out of the country, so we took some steps like other states by locking down Karu, restricted movement in and out of the Federal capital and other major areas in the state” the governor declared.
