COVID-19: Medical Associations Urge FG To Test More Nigerians

The federal government has been challenged to step up its testing capacity in order to successfully battle the spread of COVID-19.

Some medical professionals including the Nigerian Medical Association, the Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria and the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, made this call in a statement.

They said it was not enough for the federal and state governments to impose lockdown on citizens without ensuring that those who had been infected with the virus were fished out and tested.

According to www.worldometers.info, as at last night, Nigeria had tested 5,000 people, while 37,954 persons were tested in Ghana.

On the other hand, South Africa had tested 80,085 of its citizens.

The World Health Organisation last week said there was an urgent need to increase COVID-19 testing in Africa and advised that it must go beyond cities.

When COVID-19 was first recorded in the country on February 27, Nigeria had five centres, where the virus could be tested but now increased to 10.

Akeredolu Accuses Police of Collecting bribes, allowing vehicles into Ondo state

Ondo State Governor, ROTIMI AKEREDOLU, has lamented the influx of people from other states despite the ban on inter-state movement.

He alleged that the police were frustrating the effort of the state government at containing the spread of the deadly disease by allowing people to enter the state after receiving bribe from them.

The Governor was reacting through his Special Adviser on Special Duties, DOYIN ODEBOWALE, who visited the state boundaries on Sunday.

Addressing the policemen, ODEBOWALE accused them of corruption by allowing unauthorised vehicles to pass through.

But in a swift reaction, the head of the police team, EBISINE AMY, denied the allegation, saying the policemen at the boundary were doing the work professionally.
