“We have opened five testing centres which are functional, the curve is now flattened.
“We carried out testing maximally but at the same time the positivity ratio is very low. So, it (COVID-19) is dying down almost on a daily basis. So, I came to thank the president for that assistance.”
The Governor also disclosed that he briefed President Buhari on the security situation in the state.
“We are providing infrastructure for military training in the Falgore Forest in order to prevent the bandits from colonising that particular environment,” he said.
“The infrastructure will include auditorium, houses, dining hall, kitchen, shooting range and many other amenities to enable the military train continuously.”
