The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has warned the state workers to celebrate the festivals in moderation.
According to the governor, there was a need for the celebration of Christmas and New Year to reflect the mood and realities of the moment.
He said, “Without pronouncing it, we all know that we are in austere times. Let us limit our expenses to our purse. We must not go borrowing to celebrate the season. Let us restrain any urge to do more than our capacity. This is a piece of advice that we must heed.
“Without mincing words, the last 58 months of our administration have witnessed tremendous improvement in the security of lives and property and a significant drop in the incidents of crime in our Sunshine State. As a responsive and responsible government, we will continue to do more in collaboration with relevant security agencies to always protect residents of Ondo State from harm.”
“As you are all aware, we are currently experiencing the third wave of the pandemic. We must all make concerted efforts to stem the rate of infection as a state. The use of facemasks, physical distancing, regular hand washing and use of sanitizer remain indispensable measures to curbing and curtailing the spread.
