A Lagos-based Social Communicator, Mr Nathaniel Okoro, says the ability of each state to use what it has to mitigate the problem of coronavirus, will effectively help the nation at this trying times.
Okoro made the assertion in an interview with our correspondent in Lagos on Wednesday.

He said that the ability of each state to respond and fight the Coronavirus would largely depend on each state’s ability to galvanise and act on its own before seeking help from neighbouring states.
The social communicator noted that the Federal Government efforts alone would not be adequate in the fight against COVID-19.
He noted that the Federal Government could only intercede, saying that the ability of each state to mitigate the problem would help.
Okoro said that globally, the ability to contain and limit the infection and fatality would depend on the ability of each country to quickly respond to the situation.
He noted that countries could galvanise their citizens to comply with the guidelines and make judicious use of available medical facilities.
“Over the years, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has been talking about the inadequacies of our medical institutions.
“The association has continually pointed at medical tourism of the elites.
“NMA has been preaching this for years before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.
“It is my prayer that the fatality will be limited,’’ he said.
