Ikpeazu directs 17 Abia LGA chairmen, others to undergo COVID-19 test
Jun 3, 2020
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has directed all Chairmen of the seventeen(17) Local Government Areas of the State, together with their deputies, to present themselves for COVID-19 test.
This was even as Governor Okezie Ikpeazu had earlier directed all members of Abia State COVID-19 committee and those of the executive members who might have recently come in contact with the late Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Solomon Ogunji, to immediately undergo COVID-19 tests and isolate themselves thereafter pending the outcome of the tests.
DAILY POST recalls that the Abia Commissioner for Environment, Chief Solomon Ogunji, died last Sunday.
A statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information, John Okiyi Kalu, announced that Solomon Ogunji passed on at the Abia State University Teaching Hospital, Aba, after a brief illness.
Governor Ikpeazu however, in a release and obtained by newsmen, on Tuesday night said, “Further to my earlier directive on the testing of members of the State Executive Council, I wish to direct that all Transition Council Chairmen of our 17 LGAs, and their Deputies, present themselves for COVID-19 tests and thereafter isolate themselves pending the release of their test results.
“I urge all citizens and residents to eschew rumor mongering and get involved in the battle against COVID-19. Take responsibility because Abia is ready to win this battle with all hands on deck”.
