A lot of people believe we are doing all these things because federal government has given us so much money. No, not at all.

We do this because we see our responsibility to save lives and I had said that I will be at the forefront of this fight”. Gov Udom stated.

He admonished citizens that despite all what his administration has done to keep the state safe, the primary responsibility to remain save doesn’t rest with the governor, healthworkersor government, but rests onindividual adult citizen of the state.
