Ogun Cancels New Year Get – Together due to Covid – 19
As a result of the fourth wave of COVID-19 in the country, Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun says the State government will not host any get-together to mark the new year 2022.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Kunle Somorin, the announcement has become necessary to clear the speculations that the Governor will be hosting a party on Sunday, 2nd January, 2022 at his Iperu-Remo home.
The statement adds that the usual celebration will not hold this year to avoid undermining the efforts to combat COVID-19 in the State, and rolling back the success that has been recorded, particularly in view of the fourth wave of the pandemic.
Governor Dapo Abiodun enjoins the residents of the State to celeberate in moderation and observe all COVID-19 protocols. He expresses hope that ongoing global efforts will soon sufficiently tame the pandemic to allow for the usual pomp, pageantry and large gathering that new year get-together attracts.
