Lockdown: Nigerians must take responsibility in fight against COVID-19, Expert urges

Published

on

Mr Tunji Olarinde, a public health expert, has urged Nigerians to take responsibility in the fight against COVID-19 by complying with all government and health directives during the lockdown.

He noted that government alone could not fight the pandemic without the collaboration of stakeholders.

Olarinde said that except the  COVID-19 pandemic was treated as a collective fight, there would be minimal success in curtailing the disease, adding,  “everyone’s effort is needed. We need to join hands.”

According to him, to flatten the novel coronavirus curve in Nigeria, “it’s a responsibility that lies in our hands and Nigerians must rise to the occasion by adapting to the new lifestyle in the interest of everyone.

“There are roles Nigerians must play to fight the virus. First, keep to all the directives of government and health ministry.

“We must regularly wash our hands with antiseptic soaps under  running water while maintaining social distancing.

“Also, we have to help out in disseminating credible information to keep others informed. Fake news about the virus must be jettisoned as it could create panic,’’ he said.

Olarinde decried the level of non-compliance with the lockdown order by some Nigerians, which according to him, is a threat to the achievements made so far to contain the virus.

He noted that  “staying alive is more important than anything.

“Let’s obey the government now so we can stay alive to have a better tomorrow. With our obedience, the efforts of government and health authorities will pay off and the pandemic shall soon be over.’’

While commending the collaborative efforts of relevant agencies in attempts to contain the virus, Olarinde called on government and well-meaning Nigerians to support the vulnerable to ameliorate the effect of the stay-at-home order.

Bello Babayo Bello, FNSE, Executive Director (Networks) of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, on his renomination as the Vice Presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, alongside President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

In his message, Engr. Bello described the renomination as a beautiful affirmation of the Vice President’s enduring commitment to Nigeria’s unity, stability, and prosperity. He noted that Senator Shettima, himself a former Senator of the Federal Republic, has consistently embodied resilience, foresight, and a deep sense of responsibility, qualities that continue to inspire confidence across the nation.

“This renomination is a shining testament to your unwavering dedication to the Nigerian people,” Engr. Bello stated. “It reflects the trust of the party and the citizens in your ability to guide our country toward greater progress, peace, and prosperity. Your leadership has been a beacon of hope, and this endorsement is richly deserved.”

Engr. Bello further emphasized that Senator Shettima’s political journey has been marked by courage and service. From his tenure as Governor of Borno State to his current role as Vice President, he has consistently championed initiatives that address national challenges, foster economic growth, and promote inclusive development.

As a leader in the power sector, Engr. Bello highlighted the importance of visionary leadership in driving infrastructure and energy reforms. He expressed confidence that Senator Shettima’s continued role in government will further strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to deliver reliable power, expand opportunities, and improve the quality of life for millions of citizens.

He prayed that Almighty Allah grants the Vice President wisdom, strength, and good health to continue serving the nation with distinction. “May Allah bless your efforts, guide your decisions, and grant you success as you carry forward the responsibility of leadership,” he added.

The message concluded with a reaffirmation of goodwill and support: “Congratulations once again, Your Excellency. We look forward to your continued contributions to the peace, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria.”
