Akinbile-Yusuf stated that the economy of the state thrives significantly on the activities of practitioners in the sector who should not be kept out of job permanently and who acknowledged the fact that the sector remains one of the worst-hit sectors by the pandemic.
She however, maintained that it behooves the state government and practitioners in the sector to be ingenious in their approaches to the “new normal” which the economy of the world is assuming.
