Augustine Okezie, Katsina

The Director General of the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu has announced President Muhammadu Buhari will make some difficult decisions on COVID-19 containment next week.

He said: ”President Buharit will on Wednesday have a tele conference with the Governors and there will be some difficult decisions to be made on how to restart the economy, especially on what to start and what not to start.”

The NCDC boss spoke while on a courtesy call on Katsina Governor Aminu Masari in his office at Government House Katsina.

He spoke as the Governor demanded establishment of a testing centre in Katsina to ensure speedy confirmation of samples of suspected cases in the state.

Masari noted the State Government had to travel for about 12 hours after collecting samples of suspected patients for test in the laboratory at Abuja.

He said: ”Availability of a testing centre here will actually help in reducing the duration and the stress we are presently going through.

“Samples from Katsina had to reach Abuja in 24 hours otherwise it would not be tested

End the total lockdowns already. They are NOT working. They CAN'T work!

No decision could be as tough as shutting our borders before the virus came in.

Obviously the virus isn't going away any moment soon, should we then lock down the country for as long as the virus reigns?

It's a very very dicey situation and I don't envy decision makers at this moment.

The president may have to reopen the locked down states with complusory wearing of face mask and other gloves.

Better he reopens it cos we re not serious about lockdown here. Ppl still pack themselves in markets, mosques and streets.

Suffering & smiling

E be like fa cup final

. The presidency should have locked down Nigeria for two weeks starting from last week .With this we will know Covid carriers once and for all .The tough decision is about Kano and Katstina .If the number of confirmed cases in both states continues like this Nigeria is in problem....How I wish our borders had been closed earlier.
