Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, says the idea of random testing for COVID-19 in the state is a waste of government resources.

Speaking at a media briefing held at government house on Monday, Udom said those who needed to be tested had been tested, noting that the state is acting in accordance with the guidelines of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, reports Punch newspaper.

He said what was required of everyone is co-operation and not anything that could weaken the efforts of the government in tackling the pandemic.

“We are experiencing what the entire world has never experienced before, so no one can truly boast of experience.

“COVID-19 has never happened before so everyone is learning to manage it. The best medical doctor may not be the best administrator,” the governor stated.
