The Nigeria Centre
for Disease Control, NCDC, has warned that the coronavirus pandemic won’t “end
next week.”
NCDC Director
General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu made the remark during the daily briefing of the
Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.
Ihekweazu said
Nigerians need to be educated on the dangers of the virus because testing and
treatment “can’t get us out of this.”
Commenting on
whether the NCDC has failed in the disposition of it’s duties, Ihekweazu said:
“History will judge us. This is not the time to trade blames. The NCDC has a
staff strength of 300 and we have been working with other agencies of
government and the states to do what we have been able to do so far.
“This pandemic will
not end next week and I know that I will be criticised for this. But we need to
work together to achieve results.
“Neither treatment
nor testing can get us out of this. We need your voices to get Nigerians to
understand what is going on.”
