“Ishaku wished Christians happy Easter celebrations but also reminded them to take the COVID-19 vaccination which is now available in the state and to continue to observe all protocols against the spread of the pandemic.”
Ishaku noted that his administration is working tirelessly in collaboration with security agencies in a bid to end kidnappings and senseless killing of law-abiding citizens by hoodlums who he said were bent on causing disaffection and mayhem on residents.
He also solicited for more support from the residents to nip the nefarious acts in the bud, urging them not to lower their guards in adhering to the safety measures of the COVID-19 pandemic.
