Director General of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Asishana Okauru and his wife, Ifueko, have tested negative for Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Okauru stated this in a statement issued in Abuja, following the tests earlier conducted on him and his wife at the Nigeria Centre for Decease Control (NCDC).
He admonished members of the public to pray for those who have tested positive to the scourge and wish them full recovery, saying the NGF would continue to encourage the public to observe all NCDC’s rules of handwashing, social distancing and self-isolation in cases of exposure.
He said that the NGF was working to address all issues relating to COVID-19 pandemic, including working with the NCDC and Presidential Committee to get testing readily available.
Okauru said the forum would also work with the centre and the committee in ensuring timely and appropriate treatment of established cases, adding, “We will also strive to reduce the inconvenience and losses arising from lockdown and restriction of movements.”
He commended those who either called him or his wife to express their goodwill, hopes and prayers for the family, urging everyone to act in the good interest of themselves and the country in a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19.
