Following the resumption
of LaLiga in Spain and other leagues across Europe amid partial lockdown in
Kano State, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has directed for the re-opening of
all viewing centres in the state.
He, however, directed
them to observe all protocols enunciated by health workers.
He made this known when
the leadership of Soccer Viewing Centres Association, Kano State, paid him a
courtesy call in his office, Friday, urging for ease of the lockdown order for
the centres.
He equally donated 40,000
face masks for the distribution in their viewing centres, so as to strengthen
observance of the laid down protocols.
“It is in line with our
decision to see that our economy bounces back, through reinvigorating
commercial and other business activities in the state, that I have directed all
viewing centres to be re-opened from today,” he said.
Reminding that, as they
gather youths in their viewing centres, they must make sure that they use that
as a platform to create awareness among youths on ways to help tame the
pandemic.
The state chairman of the
association, Sharu Rabi’u Ahlan, commended Governor Ganduje’s efforts in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, assuring that, “Your Excellency on behalf of
all our members, we are appreciative of your unrelenting efforts to human
development, especially youth, in the state.”
“We are grateful for the
face masks His Excellency gave us. And we promise to abide by all the
protocols, Sir. Our members are always supportive of your policies. And we are
in a good working relationship with the state Ministry of Information and the
state Censorship Board,” he said.
