Ado Ekiti, March 30, 2020 (NAN) Sen. Biodun Olujimi, representing Ekiti South Senatorial District,  on Monday distributed palliative materials to cushion the effects of government’s directive aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Ekiti State Government on Sunday ordered closure of all businesses, declaring a dusk-to-dawn curfew to prevent the further spread of coronavirus in the state.

Olujimi, who distributed the materials to government health centres, motor parks, palaces and other strategic locations across Ekiti, said she would love to see the people complying with government’s directives.

“I want to ask our people to conform strictly to the dictates of government, adhere to proper hygiene; washing of hands every time and maintaining social distance.

“This is beyond political affiliation, it is about life. Hence, to maintain a disease-free environment, the order is necessary and mandatory for people to obey.

“This, to my mind, will help prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in Ekiti and protect our friends, neighbours, and vulnerable population. Please, stay at home,” she said.

NAN reports that items distributed include hand sanitisers, anti-bacterial soaps, anti-virus/bacteria soaked wipes, copies of educating handbills, amongst other relief materials. (NAN)
