Kwara Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi has recovered from COVID-19 and tested negative.
The Deputy Governor, who doubles as State Chair of the Technical Committee on COVID-19 and his wife, tested positive about three weeks ago and have been in self-isolation.
However, on Friday, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Kwara State governor and the state spokesperson of the committee on coronavirus, Rafiu Ajakaye, announced that Alabi’s result returned negative.
“The Deputy Governor Kwara state and Chairman of the Kwara State COVID-19 Technical Committee has tested negative to #COVIDー19. The result which came out today is a true reflection of the efforts of our Governor, the Gatekeepers, and the Technical committee who have been working tirelessly,” Ajakaye said.
Ajakaye did not say if the deputy governor’s wife has also recovered.
Since its outbreak in Nigeria in February 2020, coronavirus has killed 1,011 including a Chief of Staff (COS) to the Kwara State governor, Aminu Adisa, who died in July.
