US President Donald Trump has finally fulfilled his promise to send ventilators to Nigeria.

Trump, in a telephone conversation with President Muhammadu Buhari in April, pledged to support Nigeria’s response to COVID-19 by sending ventilators.

However, the ventilators got to Nigeria five months after the US president made the promise.

While receiving 200 ventilators on behalf of the federal government from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at a ceremony in Abuja on Tuesday, Osagie Ehanire, minister of health, said medical items are critical to saving the lives of persons who have been severely affected by COVID-19.

The minister said life has not been the same for Nigerians since the first COVID-19 case was recorded in February.

“This donation consists of 200 ventilators, which, as we all know by now, are a critical component of the response strategy to save the lives of persons who have been severely impacted by this viral infection,” he said.

“They will certainly be of great benefit to the people of Nigeria and I wish to convey the appreciation of His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and of the government of Nigeria, to President Donald Trump and the United States Government for the generous consideration and friendly gesture.

“The Federal Ministry of Health, and its public health Agency, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), have focused on providing guidance to tackle the challenges.

“Our health workers have been trained and equipped and are doing the needful to attend to COVID-19 patients and give emergency care, while not losing sight of routine and essential health services.”

Ehanire asked the US to lend its full weight to global efforts in finding vaccine against COVID-19.

“The speed and ease with which COVID-19 has spread across the globe clearly shows that it is a threat to mankind. Without the full collaboration of all nations, the threat of covid to any one part of the world is a threat to all,” he said.

K4daniel:
This is not comprehensive enough. In UK the analysis will show death number per state. E.g. Manchester currently has total death of 586, London 6,885 and England as a whole 41k.

But in Nigeria death cases are increasing to 989 across 36 states without letting us know the number of state contributing to the death cases, Why? Why can't they capture each death cases for each state. That data will expose alot of things and help in preventing more deaths.

An African group of professionals called African Professionals Renaissance Network, (APREN), based in Dakar, Senegal, has selected Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as the Best Performing Governor in Nigeria, in the fight against COVID-19.

In a letter sent to the Governor by the group’s Secretary General, Diouf Bakri Koalack, the group commended Governor Ganduje’s effort in the fight against the global pandemic.

The group emphasised that Governor Ganduje’s effort in the fight against COVID-19 in Nigeria was so glaring that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) appreciated his effort so openly for all to know and copy.

After long and diligent study of the situation across all the states in the federation, “…we came to clearly understand that Kano State did excellently well in responding to the global pandemic. This, we assure, is as a result of the unwavering diligence and commitment of the Governor in driving the response.”

“Even before the existence of first index case in Kano State, we learned that, the state was well prepared and put everything in place waiting for any eventuality. When the first index case was in sight, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje was up and doing in responding appropriately.”

“Kano State, under Governor Ganduje has done tremendous work in countering the health problem of COVID-19”, the group stated.

APREN, as a group of multitude professionals across African countries, beamed its search light across some selected African countries and underwent a study on how states respond to the pandemic wave.

According to them, Kano State proves to be an exemplary political space, in launching a serious fight against COVID-19, adding that, “When the state was faced with the first case all efforts were geared towards dismembering the pandemic’s strength.”

Governor Ganduje quickly formed a very powerful Task Force and filled it with professionals who clearly understand the problem. Experts in public health, among others.”

“Kano State under Governor Ganduje excels in the fight against COVID-19 more than any other State in Nigeria. Kano became the centre for the training of both health and non-health workers for the Northern Nigeria. This could not have been possible without determined political will from the Governor,” APREN
concluded.

Many were feared dead Tuesday night after a gas explosion hit Ajao Estate, less than five kilometres to Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

An eyewitness told our correspondent at the scene of the incident that the explosion was caused by cooking gas.

Mangled and dismembered bodies of those that died could be seen in the rubbles left behind by the explosion.

Although the number of those that died could not be ascertained yet, it was learned that four first responders at the scene sustained injuries. Cars and houses nearby were also affected.
