Abiodun spoke on Friday when he received the management team of Lafarge, the cement company the yet unnamed Italian was visiting when he was diagnosed.

A press statement issued by Kunle Somorin, Chief Press Secretary to the governor quoted Governor Abiodun as saying:
“He (the patient) is in good condition and would be discharged soon,” Abiodun said as he observed that the virus remained deadly and should be handled with all seriousness.

“For us, the virus is a serious one and an issue that is in the front burner. We will not lower our guard, particularly due to the fact that we have large number of industries and expatriates here.

“We are enjoying lot of supports from the World Health Organisation and the National Centre for Disease Control. We are going ahead to prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” the governor was quoted as saying.”

He also lauded the company for its efforts in ensuring that the index case was quarantined and all the contacts traced to ensure that there was no spread.
