NCDC Officials Left After Being Asked To Undergo Coronavirus Tests – Kogi Commissioner For Information
Posted by E.L.E.X on May 08 2020 under News
The Kogi State Government has accused the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) officials of leaving the state after they were asked to undergo Coronavirus tests.
Kogi’s Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo alleged that some officials of the agency who arrived the state to boost its capacity, returned to Abuja after Governor Yahaya Bello asked them to go into isolation and also get ready for Coronavirus tests.
The statement reads in part;
“It was drama today at the Kogi State Government House as officials of the National Center for Disease Control sent to ascertain the COVID-19 status flee the state.
“The Officials said they were not ready to be tested for COVID-19 and went back to Abuja. Today, the Governor showed the statesmanship in him once again by appreciating the support of the NCDC and defending the health interests of his people.
“NCDC quarantined the Chinese professionals that came to give them technical support and also took their samples for test. It is a normal practice and protocol set by NCDC.
“So NCDC will have a lot to explain as to why its officials refused to test for COVID-19.
How can we be sure of their status? What are their fears? Why did NCDC sent people who are afraid of test to our State? What was their intention? The officials that came have done an integrity blow to the works of the NCDC.
Is there something they are hiding? It is time NCDC opened up and apologize to the good people of Kogi State. How will they encourage people to test when its own officials are afraid of test? This is sad.”
