Global acknowledgement of the sterling leadership shown by the Lagos State Government and Governor Babatunde Fashola, SAN in the containment of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the country came from no less a body than the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Thursday.
Speaking during a courtesy call on the Governor at the State House, Ikeja, the WHO Country Director, Dr Rui Vana Gaz said he and his team had come to transmit the compliment and high recognition of the top hierarchy of the WHO to the State Government for the excellent leadership the Governor provided in containing the Ebola Virus Disease.


He stated that the world body was happy with the way the State established the Isolation Ward with the necessary support and that the WHO also offered its support by deploying its staffs to support the Isolation Centre and supplying Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) and resource mobilization.
While re-echoing the view of Governor Fashola at some of the meetings held on the EVD about some missed opportunities which aided the importation of the disease, Dr Gaz said Nigeria must avoid any form of complacency to ensure that there is no other case.

arresa:

Political parties shouldn't be taking credit and campaigning with ebola at the expense of the brave men and women that sacrificed their lives by paying the ultimate price.. That was thoughtless, mindless, crude, irresponsible and crass..

arresa: It is women like Stella Ameyo Adedevoh to whom such a claim rightly belongs. - Fashola.

arresa: Dear Lagosians, these were the people who saw and defeated Ebola. Let no person tell you otherwise.
These men and women, who showed courage, who risked their lives are our true champions and heroes.
They showed the spirit of service, the spirit of Lagos and the spirit of our “good old days”.
Nobody should take this credit away from them. - Fashola

stress: What are these precautionary steps? Speeches and news conference. Abeg list them including the one that let ebola into Nigeria in the first place and the ebola vaccine they lied about...

arresa: Do you people read news or follow current affairs? What financial and material was provided. The Lagos state government and legislature released funds to fight ebola while your FG lied about releasing funds which they didn't do till victory was declared in Lagos and when the governor welcomed the survivors.

arresa: Lagos state money fought Ebola, your FG change showed up after the fact when it was all over... It was medicine after death..

arresa: Like Fashola said, credit goes to the men and women on the ground fighting ebola including the ones that sacrificed their lives...

lakpalakpa: It will be very unfair and a great loss to Nigerians if Fashola doesn't rule as President. He shows in very clear terms how well he understands the basics of good governance.

Eko ONI baje oooo!!!!

figment232: Rubbish

brainpower: I have always said we don't have an opposition in this country, what we have are political haters. I expected this kind of statement sooner from one of them. He is sectionalizing this country, ebola control was the collective effort of both state and FG. Outsiders don't see us as south, west, east or north, they see us as nigeria, they see us as one. And this is why every accolade must go to the FG. We are just playing politics with bitterness in this country, before you know it this ebola will be twisted by the opposition controlled media and Fashola has started it. He knows how much he will lose from internal revenue if he didn't work hard to stop the ebola, if not he would have been ordered by his Godfather not to do anything about the ebola afterall, it was a national epidemic and we know how unpatriotic they are. Starting from forcefully returning non-indegenes to sectionalizing this country by these statements, I think I can safely say that he doesn't believe in one Nigeria and this isn't the kind of people we want in the centre. And I really like this man but see what politics can do.

eye4eye: I can see the Y1bos running wild here insulting Fashola. Koni dafun baba nlaku yin eyin omo Y1bo.

How can these animals called Y1bos be blaming Fashola with the support he gave to the health management team in Lagos? Where was Jonathan when Ebola was brought to lagos? The only thing we heard from GEJ was saying "Patrick Sawyer was a mad man". The only thing GEJ contributed to solving the case of Ebola was to insult Patric Sawyer.

The Y1bos seem love it when Jonathan claim responsibility for anything great done by others but absolves himself when things go wrong.

Ko baje fun eyin omo Igbos yio!

I hate Y1bos with passion.

Foolish Y1bo PDP mouthpiece. You tried to be neutral but you failed. Read the poo you penned again. Stup1d Y1bo go and die if you have problem with Fashola. You son of an animal. Just go and die omo Y1bo.

davo3286: What Fashola is trying to tell us, indirectly, in a one sentenced summary is 'the credit should go to me and not anyone else'. Period!

davo3286:

Then you will die with a 'passionate' heart attack

brainpower:


Thanks. I feel your pain. Hope you are happy now?

Shut your trap, you stinking hairychest, ungrateful piece of sh!t. Be prepared for what is coming. We are chasing you out of our land soon back to your landlocked erosion ravaged, red clay land.

brainpower:


Ignorance. My state is the biggest state that feeds this nation. Thanks again for showing how small your mind is.

Sincere9gerian: Very petty state governor with his petty attack dogs.

The Americans only few days ago recorded the first case of ebola diagnosed on American soil. The debate in that country is not about who should take credit and for what but it is centred on what they COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY FOR A BETTER OUTCOME. It is about why the healthcare system didn't suspect ebola and isolate the index case on the first day of presentation rather than on the second day.

Africans have a long way to go.

Greensaint: Don't give credit to fg for Ebola containment? Yes but blame the fg for missing chibok girls.
When it is failure blame the fg but when it is success deny them. Childish state governors.

taharqa: Fashola shld keep his fucckin mouth SHUT. WTH!!! I kinda like Fash but I just find frivilous peeps disgusting! If d ebola outbreak had become an epidermic, wud Fash not hv been amongst d loudmouths callin Jona's name and askin for his head. Wait! Weren't dis same Fash and Co already blamin him for 'allowin' Sawyer tru d 'national' airport wen they thought it might get outa hand.... Who provided the facilities and personnels at d National Disease Control Centre, d very body in charge of coordinating the onslaught against ebola? Who provided d framework for d tracing of suspected 'contact' persons? Who servd as d link bw critical international bodies like d CDC, World bank and Doctorswithoutborders? Who provided continuous and effective screening at our Airports, Seaports and border crossings? Who provided d protective gears, drugs and oda equipments to most states centres across d country? Who coordinated Info dissemination during d period, a very critical part of disease control anywhere? Who fucckin gave both Lagos and Rivers state #200m each to fight d disease? Who in their read senses wud even questn d central role of a national Govt in any sort of disease control sef??
