The Lagos State Commissioner for Health Prof. Akin Abayomi said on Tuesday that the health condition of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is improving.
This was contained in an update on the governor’s health condition signed by the commissioner on Tuesday morning.
Sanwo-Olu, who went on self-isolation on Friday after one of his close aides tested positive to COVID-19, was later confirmed positive the following day (Saturday) after the usual test were carried out and has since been in isolation.
However, Abayomi said: “All tests conducted on him recently indicate no signs of the adverse impact of the COVID-19 infection.
“We are indeed optimistic Mr. Governor will soon be free of the virus and fully back on the beat to steer the ship of our dear state”.
“Our thoughts, prayers and well-wishes are with our governor at this time. We wish him full recovery soonest.”
He reassured Lagos residents of the government’s continued dedication to the fight against #COVID-19. “We urge Lagos residents to remain vigilant and compliant to avoid #COVID-19 infection,” he said.
The House of Assembly has urged the governor to direct the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, to intensify the campaign against the spread of COVID-19.
The speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, who presented the matter before the House during plenary, added it was paramount for the Commissioner for Health to brief the House on efforts being made by the government to prevent the spread of the disease.
Obasa also urged the governor to call on the Commissioner for Information to increase awareness for the people so that they could take adequate precautions against COVID-19.
