The Chairman commended the State Governor, Atiku Bagudu for prioritizing the provision of moral and financial support to all the activities of the task force, which he said was responsible for the successes it had recorded so far.
According to him, that has made it possible for no record of pending positive cases in any of the State’s isolation centers.
