Chairman of Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) Anambra State branch, Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme, has called on Ndi Anambra to heed the advice of the state government on how to stem the raging Coronavirus pandemic, just as he applauded proactive measures taken by the government to forestall escalation of the pandemic.
He commended the Ministry of Health, Centre for Disease Control, Anambra State Public Health Management Agency for the proactive measures they have taken so far especially their up-to-date briefing of Nigerians on the dangers of Coronavirus and how best to avoid it.
The proactive measures taken by Anambra State Government, he noted, is commendable and a step in the right direction.
His words: “In view of our experiences in our sensitisation campaign, some misguided and ignorant citizenry doubt the existence of the deadly disease, hence the inevitable need to commence sensitisation, educating and informing the citizenry about the killer disease and how best to avoid contacting it.
“Anambra State government should without hesitation set up Implementation committee to be comprised of men of impeccable integrity to monitor and ensure strict compliance with the directive of the government.

“Government should provide sanitisers and infra red thermometers for its ministries and establishments, whereas parks, schools and market leaders should provide for their establishments.
“Health is wealth, a healthy nation is a wealthy nation. The nation must be protected from the deadly disease by all Nigerians”.
The CLO official called on the Commissioner for Health in Anambra State, Dr. Vincent Okpala and officials to embark on assessment visits to know the level of compliance to government patriotic directive, adding that Church leaders, traditional rulers, Civil Society organisations and Market leaders have indispensable roles to play for the war against the deadly global health challenge to be won.
