Early 2016, a female secondary school student was bitten by a rat, she threw up continuously with heavy fever and high body temperature. Fear gripped her family members. No one could detect what was going on with the student at that moment and it the rise of Lassa fever in Nigeria. Many felt it was typhoid fever or ordinary without going to the clinic. No teaching corper wants to lose their student. But thank God she’s alive and has recovered.
In our bid to make the world a better place, sickness and disease free environment, corp members in Rivers state has taken it upon itself to sensitize people in the state on Lassa fever. The Department of Disease Control services of Rivers state primary health care management Board deemed it fit to partner with the Corp members to project their message to market women and other places. The sensitization started in Buguma in Asari-Toru LGA of Rivers state with the President Of the community development service (CDS), Corpr Okhakumhe Gideon coordinating the environmental campaign and sensitization. Corper Gideon was supported by Vice President, Corper Oladenoye David Olamiyo and Corper Chinagorom Ikechukwu, with massive input from other corp members.
According to the CDS President, Corper Gideon, he said they started the sensitization from the market to help educate market women, most especially Garri sellers on their food protection against Lassa fever, and to maintain healthy living. This project was also supported by NYSC and Rivers state Government.
Note: Please let’s try and keep our environment clean, food healthy. Here are couple of photos from the sensitization campaign.

I guess this Rivers corpers sensitization is just selfie inclined compared to the Jigawa corpers.

Job well done. More power to your elbow.

This certainly brings back memories of my NYSC days too and those great outreaches my CDS organised. Welldone corps members, we expect this from our corpers during the service year and not unnecessary travelling and absenteeism from their PPAs with the excuse that their states are to boring for them to stay in.
