Secretary to the Gombe State Government, Professor Ibrahim Njodi, has tested negative to COVID-19, The PUNCH reports.
Njodi’s test result came a few days after Governor Inuwa Yahaya issued a directive to all political appointees especially those working in the Government House to undergo COVID-19 test.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that the state scribe submitted himself for testing following the result of a Director of Special Services and Political Affairs, Shuaibu Danlami, in Government House, who was a member of Taskforce on COVID-19 that died five days ago whose result returned positive.
