Governor Dave Umahi, flanked by his wife and some members of his family, at this special family thanksgiving, says his government will do everything possible to prevent another casualty of COVID-19 in the State

Umahi discloses that the State government will in no distant time commence the distribution of another phase of palliatives to the people

Despite the challenges posed by the 2020 year, the Governor wants Ebonyi people to be thankful to God for his numerous blessings.
