We Must All Be Responsible During The Coronavirus Pandemic – Gov. Ugwuanyi

The governor recently revealed that they all defied his Presidential order on the restriction of inter-state movement and the state government’s closure of all boundaries and inter-state transportation.

According to him, this is time for Nigerians to be very responsible if we all want to protect every state in the country and its residents during the pandemic.
