As e be, the press secretary, Aliyu Amode, don yarn say dem dey seriously concern about wetin dey happen for our streets wey fit help the sickness spread. You know say Lassa fever dey come through rodents and their dirty doings. E be like say food handlers for Kwara need to shine their eyes well well!
The General Manager, Jide Aina, don talk say make all garri factories and food production centers dey store their materials for rodent-proof containers. Make you no forget, water and clean hands na your best friends when you dey prepare food. Y’all need to dey wash your hands like say na daily workout!
For street vendors wey dey sell food on top ground wey no clean finish, dem dey warn say no be so e go work. No dey display food for bare ground like say na market for bush. Cover your food well, maintain your hygiene and no dey throw rubbish for anywhere; anybody wey chop your food deserve better!

Dem dey shout say make everybody join hands to keep everywhere clean. If we no stand up together, how we go fit fight Lassa fever? If you think say your hustle no wan respect cleanliness, make e clear for your mind say Lassa fit just be dey wait for you like thief for night!
Before I forget, dem don already talk say recent gossip wey go round say corps members for NYSC camp die from Lassa fever no clear!
