COVID 19: JIGAWA STATE GOVERNMENT GIVES EACH ALMAJIRI N10,000 AND A PAIR OF CLOTHING

Jigawa state Government has pledged to give all the almajirai that were repatriated from other states to Jigawa the sum of N10,000 and a pair of clothing as they live the NYSC Camp where they are being isolated.

The Commissioner of Health Dr Abba Zakari disclosed this while addressing newsmen on the 45 results that returned today which has 16 almajirai positive while the other 29 turned negative.

The 29 who tested negative have already received their own N10,000 and the pair of clothing before they leave the camp to their families.

Meanwhile, the commissioner also disclosed that about 93 almajirai would also be evacuated from Plateau state to Jigawa and they would also be isolated at the NYSC camp until they tested negative for the virus.

The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says Jigawa has recorded 44 new cases of Covid 19 yesterday, which brings the number of confirmed cases in the state to 85, with 2 deaths recorded.

The state Government therefore calls for increase support in the fight against the spread of the pandemic in the state, especially through obeying the stay at home order, social distancing and practice of personal hygiene.
