He directed the issuance of queries to top officials of the state's Ministry of Health for failing to act with necessary caution and expertise in the handling of the incident that was recorded in a video footage that has since gone viral.


Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Wednesday directed the sack of a government driver that unilaterally attended to a person evacuated with a COVID-19 ambulance in Ilorin, the state capital. 


He also directed the issuance of queries to top officials of the state's Ministry of Health for failing to act with necessary caution and expertise in the handling of the incident that was recorded in a video footage that has since gone viral.

Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to the governor, in a statement condemned the shoddy handling of the man said to be going through a hard time. 


The statement reads, “The governor totally condemns the shoddy handling of the gentleman, who was clearly going through a hard time.

“He has directed that the driver be fired immediately. As the investigation revealed, the driver failed to heed clear directive not to take any action until the Rapid Response Team arrives the scene. He evacuated the gentleman with the help of members of the public without waiting for the arrival of the RRT.

"The governor further directed that members of the RRT be queried, while other steps are being taken to ensure this incident does not repeat itself. Involving just anybody in the evacuation of a suspected case, as was seen in the footage, was a clear and dangerous violation of COVID-19 safety protocols. The government equally finds it quite distasteful and unacceptable that the driver, who had long been involved in such operations, made unethical comments to somebody in distress.

"That incident was avoidable, and we sincerely apologise to the gentleman and to the people of Kwara State for the embarrassing development. We assure them this will not happen again.”

Posted By
Ondo State Finance Commissioner Wale Akinterinwa said on Sunday that the N4.3billion hidden in a bank account for over 10 years was appropriated for in the 2019 budget. The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state has intervened in the matter, to prevent a face-off between the executive and the legislature over the issue. Akinterinwa said in a statement that there was nothing to hide about the fund discovered in 2018 and lies peddled by mischief makers that there was no appropriation for the money. He said that the N4.3billion was in the 2019 Appropriation Bill passed by the Assembly and signed into law by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. It was gathered that the leadership of the APC in Ondo State had intervened in the matter and found out that some lawmakers, backed by external forces, raised what they termed as a false alarm over the fund. A source said records available to the APC leadership showed that the 2019 appropriation confirmed the cash in the account. The so...
