He called on the frontline health workers to redouble their efforts in the discharge of their assignment in order to achieve the desired objectives.
In his remarks earlier, the Deputy Coordinator on COVID-19 State Response Team Dr. Sabitu Y. Shanono reiterated the Committee’s commitment in monitoring the conduct of the exercise, urging the health workers to remain committed and patriotic in the discharge of their assignment.
