The release quoted the governor as saying that his “administration is re-strategising on its approach to addressing the twin problems of security and COVID-19 in the state, which calls for concerted efforts and prayers from the public to end these challenges”.

It said the governor appealed to religious leaders and members of the public to intensify prayers to see to the end of the twin menace facing the wellbeing of the people.
“It is unfortunate that at this time of our democratic journey, the twin problems of renewed upheavals and the threat of a worldwide pandemic of a strange disease are threatening the peace we have so hard earned over time.
“However, we are not relenting in our usual efforts at ensuring that the lives, properties and dignity of all people in Zamfara state are protected,” the release quoted the Governor further.
It said the state government, which had not recorded any case of the coronavirus attack had put all measures in place to address any emergency in that regard.
