The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, on Thursday, appealed to Nigerians to donate their buildings as isolation centres.

Ehanire made the appeal at the press briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.

He said as the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control aimed to test two million people in the next three months more buildings would be needed as isolation centres.

The minister stated, “I have appealed to citizens to make their property available temporarily for this purpose. I am sure that after that, there are many property owners who will come up and donate to state governments for a period of time to be used for this function.

“We are not out of space now but we are making the appeal ahead of time so that we have these facilities ready.”

Ehanire said that he was aware that the hazard allowance of health workers in the frontline of COVID-19 fight was being negotiated, but said that it did not include that of environmental health personnel.

Ehanire stated also that test capacity of the 15 laboratories in Nigeria had reached 2500. He, therefore, called on Nigerians to take advantage of the facilities.

That'll be a good idea

Why do the press or bloggers like twisting news. Except this is a new request, what I know they said was they may move into a model where they start treating victims at home in case isolation centres become overwhelmed.
That is like inhouse patient in homes that are big enough for patient to be able to isolate themselves.
I fear bloggers sha

This guy and the NCDC boss is the reason I'm angry with Buhari since the beginning of this pandemic. How did he give this position to our enemies baffles me.. people who always wish something bad to happens to this country, and been employed to sensitive position. We will not accept this... Buhari should fire them, let's them go and work for lamidi kamu.

What's wrong with using all those seized houses scattered across the country? A country where its citizens sleep under the bridge and pack themselves in face me I face you apartment; how can this government be this unreasonable?

Always begging for one thing or the other. Begged for test kits, begged for money, and now begging for houses: shaking my head.

Federal government with their dump reasonings all the time, what happened to all the government abandoned estates, is this not the best time to convert most of those buildings to an Isolation centres, plus, all the audio seized buildings by EFCC.....

Hypocrite...

Why not start from yours, then trickle it down to tinubu, kalu, gej, Buhari etc?

Idiots everywhere

Leaders should lead by examples, all those in the upper and lower chamber should donate theirs first

Mtcheeww.. So na we the citizens suppose dey do una work for una abi? Orí yín ti dàrú..

PS: If citizens will make their properties available as isolation centres, it should be out of their freewill, not because you clueless and incompetent people are compelling them to..

Start From Aso rock. All reps should use their houses as well!!!

Lead by example, sir.

But Ganduje rejected the one kwankwaso donated to him na. So how are we sure that ours would be accepted?

This government is a joke

I laughed in Spanish,they must be joking

So where are all the billions given to them going; can’t they buy properties and turn them to isolation centres?

Mr. Minister come and take my house and use for isolation.

Good riddance
