Abeokuta - Founder of OLALEKAN ISHOLA FOUNDATION (Irorun Movement) and Chairmanship Aspirant in Abeokuta North Local Government, Hon. Tajhdeen Olalekan Ishola, has commended the Ogun State Government for measures taken in containing the spread of Coronavirus Pandemic, including the recent ban of gathering of more than fifty (50) people.

Reacting to the ban, Hon. Ishola expressed confidence in the leadership of Governor Dapo Abiodun, noting that the APC led administration has all the resources to protect the people of the state.

In a statement released to journalists in Abeokuta on Thursday, Hon. Ishola charged the people of Abeokuta North to abide by the Government directive so as to be able to manage the spread of corona virus in the state.

He enjoined them to adopt all protective guidelines on Covid19, including the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, frequent washing of hands, maintain social distance, avoid touching of eyes, nose and mouth among others.

This, Gov Abiodun's leadership has shown and we are pleased with it. 

"On our part, the One Million Naira will provide succour for the people of Abeokuta North and assist them access basic necessities of life in the meantime".

He urged every son and daughter of Abeokuta North to "remain calm, cooperate with directives of the government and notify authorities of anyone observed to have symptoms of the virus."
