Rahmanjargo:
The most useless governor in Nigeria currently

NwokoloOwa:
Governor you should be forming an Advisory Health Committee with other key professionals like virologists, medical laboratory scientists, epidemiologists, pharmacists etc. Not a team of only medical doctors with limited experience in the pandemic management which will affect their delivery
