Ondo State is set to become the first state in Nigeria to deploy the use of drones to combat the spread of COVID-19 pandemic

Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN yesterday received in audience some young innovators at Nigeria Flying Labs South-West and Beat Drone, who went to show him how they are re-purposing agricultural drones for disinfecting public sites. Governor Akeredolu disclosed this via his twitter account.

In this tweets: "The young innovators at @Ng_FlyingLabs & @beatdrone showed me how they are re-purposing our agric drones for disinfecting public sites to help stop the spread of #COVID19 . They also gave me their progress report on the drone assembly plant they are setting up in Akure."

" Looking forward to a "Made in Ondo State" stamp on their drones."

The call for social distancing gives credit to the use of drone for effective disinfection of streets and cities without putting the operators in danger of contacting the COVID-19 virus.

Using drones remotely reduces the need for people to enter contaminated areas to disinfect them and their chance of becoming infected. This means that drone operators would not require full PPE, which are scarce now in the market.

Depending on the application, drone spray can be fifty times more efficient than people spraying. A drone can spray 600,000 sqm/day - that's the equivalent of 50—100 workers.

The day the rich and poor starts having a common problem is the day development will start in this country. These guys in government won't be pushed if they can't relate to your plight.

Swears SW don't make noise...

This is very innovative. Governor Akeredolu never fails to think out of the box at critical times. This is my Governor in whom I'm well pleased with.

Please donate to Ondo State COVID-19 Response Fund. Thank you.

Wow.

This is impressive.

MZrapper:
Wow.

This is impressive.

Why saying 'wow'?

Shey you ain't a Nigerian?

If this corona can restructure this country for us b4 vanishing...I'll be grateful
Everyone is now thinking outside the box

As a Nigerian I believe we can do better if given the opportunity. Nigerian are creative and innovative but our problem is support, if government can support our local producer or manufacturer their won't be any need going to abroad for what we already have.

Let cherish what we have....

This governor's innovations made me study his background and personal life. He's been a selfless and upright man from childhood. Aketi the man. Fulfil why God sent you there!

Absolutely the truth. They were all waiting for Corona virus to reset their brains, every politician suddenly becomes caring, protective and performing sure because they know they have no where to go. #WeDieHere

Billions of Naira will be missing.
EFCC currently bracing up for 2021.
