Plateau state govt to stop unvaccinated persons from accessing public offices
Simon Lalong, governor of Plateau, has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to residents of the state to get vaccinated against COVID or risk being barred from assessing public offices.
The Plateau governor announced the ultimatum yesterday at the flag-off of the COVID mass vaccination campaign in Jos.
Lalong added that residents who are 18 years and above must present evidence of COVID vaccination or a negative PCR test result done within 72 hours to gain access to any public office.
He said the directive became necessary to ensure public safety against COVID, following the discovery of the Omicron variant in Nigeria.
“All citizens of 18 years and above will henceforth show evidence of vaccination or present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours to gain access to any public office,” Lalong said.
“This will also go hand-in-hand with observing all COVID-19 safety protocols in schools, markets, banks, churches, mosques, among other places.”
