Officials Of The NIMC Accuses The Federal Government Of Covering Up Covid-19 Cases Among Staff.

The federal government has been accused of covering up COVID-19 cases among the officials of the National Identity Management Commission. This comes as officials of the commission across the country yesterday began a strike action over the fear of COVID-19 spread in the agency.

President of the Association of the Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, NIMC unit, ASEKOKHAI LUCKY, in an interview in Abuja, said already the virus had been detected in three officials of the agency at its headquarters.

He said the workers were annoyed because the management of the commission was aware of the development but kept it from workers, who could have taken necessary precautions to protect themselves.

LUCKY also said the workers would meet with government officials today to discuss the COVID-19 scare and other issues including delays in  promotion and poor salaries that led to the strike. Following the strike embarked upon by the workers, people who trooped to the NIMC offices across the country were stranded as there was nobody to attend to them.

#COVID19: Buhari, Osinbajo To Take The Vaccine On Live TV To Create Awareness

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI; Vice-President YEMI OSINBAJO; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, BOSS MUSTAPHA; and other prominent Nigerians will be among the first set to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on live television to help drive awareness.

The Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, FAISAL SHUAIB, disclosed this at the briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.

He said the move by the nation's leaders to take the vaccine in the full glare of the public was to demonstrate that this vaccine is safe.

SHUAIB said the experience had shown that vaccines are always better than health immunity adding health workers would also be accorded priority when the vaccine arrives.

According to him, "This is to help drive awareness on the virus and the vaccine administration in the country when it finally arrived. He urged Nigerians not to be hesitant on the vaccines when they arrive as key government officials like the president will take it on live TV".

Four Dead As Armed Supporters Of President Trump Storms The Capitol Building

On the foreign scene, armed supporters of President TRUMP have stormed the Capitol building and forced a lockdown.

The US Capitol is once again secured but four people are dead including one woman who was shot after supporters of President Donald Trump breached one of the most iconic American buildings, engulfing the nation's capital in chaos after Trump urged his supporters to fight against the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes that will confirm President-elect Joe Biden's win.

Other than the woman that was shot dead by police, three others died of "medical emergencies".

Congress has reconvened after the violence halted a session to certify JOE BIDEN's election win.

Some Republicans were trying to overturn the results in some states but there was a lack of sufficient support.

Trump finally called on his supporters to "go home" hours after the riot started, but spent a large amount of time in the one-minute video lamenting and lying about his election loss. In one stunning line, Trump told the mob to "go home," but added, "We love you. You are very special."
Trump struck a sympathetic tone to the rioters he himself unleashed, saying, "I know your pain, I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it. Especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace."
However, later on in the evening Trump justified the mob's actions and praised them.
"These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!" he said, in a tweet that was later deleted by Twitter.
Others inside the President's orbit tweeted their calls for calm as the mob repeatedly attempted to take over the building.
Donald Trump Jr., the President's son, said that his supporters who mobbed the Capitol were "wrong and not who we are. Be peaceful and use your 1st Amendment rights, but don't start acting like the other side. We have a country to save and this doesn't help anyone," he tweeted.
