The governor also expressed confidence that the vaccine would get to the grass root amidst security challenges in the state which he says is already facing out. 

He revealed that the state government has put two measures in place to address insecurity and for vaccines to access remote areas.

Abiodun said Amotekun would launch in Yewa in the coming weeks and the government would renovate the Papalanto-Ilaro road and construct link roads in other areas.
