On his reaction, the Commissioner for Information in Delta State, Charles Aniagwu, stated that the report was a reflection of the “Prosperity for all Deltans” agenda which has been vigorously pursued by the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration.
Similarly, the Delta Government announced that any citizen or resident that is seen in public without a face mask will be confined at one of the isolation centres in the state.
The Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu, stated that this was part of the resolutions reached at a meeting of the Technical Committee for the Prevention of #Covid19 in Delta.
“We have the responsibility to protect our people; use of face masks which must be worn properly to cover the mouth and nose must be implemented,” the commissioner said.
