The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, says he is responding positively to treatment after testing positive to COVID-19, and remains committed to discharging my duties.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, had in a statement on Monday disclosed Mr Abayomi’s COVID-19 status.

Mr Abayomi, in a message posted on his Twitter account @ProfAkinAbayomi, said he remains committed to discharging his duties to the state.

“With utmost sense of responsibility, I am obliged to make it known to the general public that I have tested positive to #COVID-19.

“Consequently, I have proceeded on 14 days self-isolation and treatment at home.

“Nevertheless, I remain committed to continuing to discharge my duties as the Commissioner for Health and Deputy Incident Commander for #COVID-19 responses in Lagos State.

“I am extremely enthusiastic and hopeful of overcoming this phase of our collective fight against #COVID-19,” he said.

Mr Abayomi said he has the full support of the governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the entire cabinet of the government of Lagos State, as well as his team at the state Ministry of Health, to put the incident behind as soon as possible.

“I wish to, however, assure you all that my family members and I are fine and are responding positively to treatment,” he said.
