“The Federal Government has done well in terms of sensitization and advocacy even at the grassroots level.” -Oluwafemi Omorege, Student

“States like Kaduna whose governor took proactive steps tested positive and was seen moving and holding meetings despite his suspicion of contracting the virus.” -Atowoju O. David, Software Developer

“Both federal and state governments have been taking preventive measures such as locking down states, which is laudable. In Lagos State with the highest number of infected people, a
