The Edo state Government has started enforcing its directive to block unvaccinated civil servants from accessing their offices.
State Governor, Godwin Obaseki had issued a strong warning to Edo residents that those who failed to take the COVID-19 vaccine will not be allowed to work or earn salary.
Speaking on the matter, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Osamwonyi Irowa said that anybody who wanted access into any state government offices, must have his or her card to show the enforcers.
“If you have to enter the state secretariat you must have your vaccination card, we are going to implement this in all the key areas to ensure that we don’t have persons being infected because the other person is being difficult,”
“They will commence this enforcement from the 15th of September, 2021. What we expect our people to do is that while going to work they should go with their vaccination cards. The government is not forcing anybody but the government has the responsibility to tell you not to spread the virus.”
“What we are going to do tomorrow is to grant those who have the authentic vaccination card access to their working places and those without can go back and work from home and the government will know how to deal with all of that,”.
