“This administration maintains an open-door policy, we, therefore, call on the media to always contact the state government to clarify every issue before going to the press.”
Governor Mai Mala Buni in a statement made available to The Guardian in Abuja declared that no such case was recorded.
The Governor, however, admitted that Yobe state recorded its first case just last week 30th April 2020 “We had expected the publishers to cross-check their facts and reflect our position to balance the story. For the records, Yobe state was the very first state in Nigeria to voluntarily submit a suspected case of COVID-19 for the test. Thank God, it was negative.
