The bundles of locally produced nose masks were received from the Governor by the Iyaloja General of the state, Chief Mrs. Iwalola Adefemiwa and other market women, at the Government House, Alagbaka, Akure on Monday, April 20, 2020.
While presenting the masks, Akeredolu said wearing of nose masks is very important for the personal protection of the market women who would trade with various shades of people across the state.
