Akeredolu disclosed his COVID-19 status on his Facebook page

The governor said he is already in self-isolation as
required by the case management guidelines of the Nigeria Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC) for someone who is asymptomatic.
“Akeredolu tests positive for COVID-19. Earlier today, I got
confirmation of a positive result for Covid-19. I am asymptomatic and not
