I Came In Contact With Two People Infected With Coronavirus – Governor Says (Photo)


Governor Abdullahi Sule who went into self-isolation before testing negative for coronavirus, has disclosed that he came in contact with two people infected with coronavirus while carrying out his duty at the Presidential villa in Abuja.


The Nasarawa Governor disclosed that they have come to realize that the virus is real, even though it is not a death sentence.

Sule said:-
“We have come to realise that coronavirus is real, it is also deadly, but more importantly and more pleasing is that it is curable, so far in Nigeria, we have continued to see increase on the daily basis about the number of people who are infected by this deadly disease.

“But the good news is that we are seeing the number of people who are also being discharged especially in Lagos after they had been treated, it is confirmed that it is a deadly disease but also curable” he said

The governor who was tested negative of the virus stated this on Friday at the government house while addressing journalists on the state government’s efforts to curtail the spread of coronavirus in the state.

“Few days ago, I went into self-isolation, the reason why I decided to do that is because I came into contact with about two confirmed cases at the presidential villa as a result of carrying out my responsibilities and those two cases were confirmed positive.

“I believe I should show example by going into self-isolation, I gave the medical team the opportunity to actually conduct their test and to show example, I should stay away from the public, my aides and family in case I’m infected, so that I don’t spread it.

“I’m happy to tell you that the result came out negative, my deputy who is always with me also tested negative, the Emir of Lafia who also came into contact with some of the infected person at the villa also tested negative”

The Nasarawa State Governor added that due to the proximity of Nasarawa to Abuja, they will be taking stringent measures to ensure the virus does not spread to the state.

Sule said:-
“It is important for Nasarawa state to take most stringent steps to curtail the spread, the treatment and care of affected persons is extremely high and as a result of that , we don’t have a test center, we are not yet well equip in Nasarawa state.

“We are so lucky that there is a test center in Abuja, Nigeria as a whole has limitations when it comes to severe test for this particular virus.”

Governor Sule who disclosed that all isolation centres in the state cannot be equipped due to lack of funds, ordered the closure of churches, mosques and motor parks as temporary measures to avoid the spread of the disease.

Asides stating that naming ceremonies, weddings and other gatherings are unnecessary at this time, the Governor also disclosed that almajiris who are not from the state will be evacuated back to their state.

The state government will take care of the feeding of indigenous almajiris who will be confined in one place.

UNSATISFIED Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Sarcastically Responds To 87-Rated FIFA 21 Card As Arsenal Talisman Receives Same Rating As Last Year

It’s safe to say Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang isn’t very happy about his FIFA 21 rating. The Gunners’ talisman has been handed an 87 rating for the new edition of the game – the same rating he was in FIFA 19. And the Gabon international has sarcastically responded to his card with a laughing face emoji. Aubameyang had another superb season for the Gunners, hitting 22 Premier League goals for Mikel Arteta’s side – the same he managed last year. However, the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph, netting a brace against Chelsea to seal a first trophy in management for Arteta. Meanwhile, it is understood Aubameyang will ‘imminently’ sign a new three-year contract at the Emirates. It is understood he will become the club’s highest earner on his new deal, surpassing Mesut Ozil’s reported £350,000-a-week wages. The report adds Arteta has been integral in talks to keep the 31-year-old striker in north London. Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is believed to ha...

'I Cried A Lot' - Arsenal Star Martinelli Opens Up On Knee Injury That 'Broke' Him

 The 19-year-old attacker has said that manager Mikel Arteta was a great support as he was returning to fitness. Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has admitted that the horror knee injury he suffered in June caused him a huge amount of pain both physically and emotionally. The young wide player sustained the issue during training, and though it did not feel like anything at first, it required surgery. After missing several months with the injury, Martinelli is now only finding his way back into competitive football. I was about to receive the ball and felt a little pain on my knee,” he told the Daily Mail. "Not enough for me to stop practising, but, while we were on the finishing session, I told them that I was in pain. They told me to rest and, if I felt the pain the next day, to let them know. “When I woke up, I felt it but I was able to walk. I thought it was nothing at first, but it was a pain I'd never felt before. I went to the club for the examinations and they said i...
