As we commemorate this years World Veterinary Day tagged with the theme " Environmental protection for improving animal and human health."

We will love to educate the general public that our environment , human and animal health are intrinsically linked. Our responsibility as advocates is to safeguard our environment for the future generation. In doing so, in an attempt to mitigate the effects of climate change , ensure proper disposal of medicines and support responsible use of natural resources necessary in raising livestock.

My beloved veterinary medical students , I wish that we all come out in our mass to support this course but also keeping in mind as members of a noble profession to obey all directives of NCDC most suitably social distancing as we carry out our obligations and for those in Nasarawa state Nigeria. We can join the Nasarawa State sanitation task force to ensure that all drainages and the environment in its entirety is cleaned .

I wish also to make a mandatory declaration to pet owners to disinfect pet houses and bath their pets on this day as we encourage proper animal hygiene.

Thank you
