The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi,
has reportedly recovered after testing positive to COVID-19.
The Commissioner was said to have been tested positive for
COVID-19 and had since gone into isolation.
The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga
Omotoso, in a statement on Monday, said the Health Commissioner would resume
his duties gradually.
The statement reads: “It is with gratitude to God that I
announce the recovery and subsequent negative test for COVID-19 of the
Honorable Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi.
“Following the mandatory isolation, the Commissioner retook
a COVID-19 PCR test which returned negative yesterday evening. Professor
Abayomi is very grateful and humbled by the deep concern shown and expressed by
Executive Council members, civil servants, Lagos residents, Nigerians, both
locally and in the diaspora, through prayers, messages, phone calls and gifts.
“He will be returning
to his full duties gradually and remains resolute in delivering the mandate of
Mr. Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, whom he says stood by him steadfastly in
these trying times and is very appreciative of.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu, the Incident Commander, is excited by
the news and urges Lagosians to realise that COVID-19 is still with us; they
should keep obeying the guidelines-watching their hands, wearing face masks and
avoiding large gatherings, among others.”
