COVID-19: AbdulRazaq mulls labour, civil society border volunteers
Kwara state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has suggested the setting up of a volunteer team drawn from the labour unions and the civil society to complement the efforts of the security agencies to stop the influx of people into the state.
“It has been established that some people sneak into the state between 10pm and 5am. This poses a grave danger to us when you consider the fact that virtually all our COVID-19 cases were imported.
“We would like to have volunteers from labour and the civil society who, working with the security agencies, would man our borders between those hours,” AbdulRazaq said during a virtual meeting with leaders of the civil society organisations late on Monday.
