The lawmaker who Chairs the House Committee on Diaspora underscored the need to reach out to members of her Constituency through the support of the Federal Government, saying the pandemic has rendered many jobless at this time.

She called on Nigerians to still be on the lookout for mild symptoms that are associated with the virus, such as common cold, headaches, dry cough, itchy throat, difficulty in breathing and general body and joint pains, among other symptoms.
