Mr Abiodun appealed to the unvaccinated in the state to get vaccinated and stop the rate of COVID-19 infection from rising, and for people to continue to observe the safety protocols.
The governor promised to turn around the fortune, committing his administration to continue to provide for affordable housing, quality health care services and conducive business environment.
