To GOD be the GLORY!
Let all hands continue to be on deck to stop this virus from coming to our state. Wash your hands regularly, maintain the recommended social distance and, please, stay at home. If you suspect that you or anyone known to you may have contracted the virus, please call 0700 2242 362 and we will take it up from there.
If your job is to enforce stay at home order or protect our borders, please don’t take blood money by doing the wrong thing. If you are not among those exempted from movement, stay at home to avoid unnecessary harassment by enforcers.
We know that this lockdown period is not easy on our hardworking people but it is a necessary sacrifice we all must make to stop this virus from ravaging our people. Make the sacrifice so that all of us will be alive to celebrate God’s faithfulness.
Soon, the government will deliver palliatives to vulnerable persons in our communities but whatever the government will do cannot be enough for everyone that needs help. Be your brother’s keeper by sharing food materials with those around you.
Together, we will win this war against Coronavirus.
By Abia State commissioner for Information – Chief John Okiyi Kalu
