As Coronavirus pandermic surges the world with frightening statistics, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kwara State Council, has advocated aggressive awareness to help manage the deadful disease and in the country, through strengthening efforts against its spread.
The Union, in a statement by the chairman, Mall Umar Abdulwahab and Secretary, Dcn. Omotayo Ayanda respectively noted that with sustained awareness against the pandemic, citizens who had different misconceptions about the virus would understand that “the virus is real.”
The union added that through such effort, the people would also understand and observe all directives put in place by the government and health authorities to curb the pandemic.
It expressed optimism that it would also impact greatly on the government’s ability to contain the spread.
The union commiserated with the government and people of the state over the death of the Chief of Staff, Alhaji Aminu Adisa Logun,who died recently on account of Coronavirus virus.
The Union expressed grief and disbelief over the sudden death of Logun and described his death as painful as well as huge loss to the people of the state, given his services to the state.
It noted that the CoS died when the state was consolidating on its gains in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
The Kwara journalists noted: “The Chief of Staff died at a time when Kwara State began to consolidate on the Governor AbdulRazaq’s successes and see a ray of hope in the fight against COVID-19.
“We must not allow the death of Logun to deter us from forging ahead in the quest to finding lasting solution to the dreaded disease.
“The deceased served with passion and commitment, leaving no one in doubt that he was a dependable elder statesman as well as a worthy assistant to his principal. Such a loss is deeply hurting, especially looking at the vacuum created by his demise.”
The union, however, urged the Governor, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and Loguns to take solace in the fact that, while Logun lived, he gave his best as it lasted and should be remembered for his contributions and service.”
The union prayed Allah to grant the governor, the state government and indeed the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss.
The journalists regretted that the virus, despite efforts by the State Technical Committee on COVID-19, had claimed some lives including that of Logun,an elder statesman.
According to it,the development shows that the COVID-19 is real, requiring everyone to take personal responsibility for his or her health and well-being, while government continues to intensify efforts to contain the spread of the virus.
Duaglobalnews reports that COVID-19, which broke out in Wuhan, a surbub of China on December 31, has registered over 12 million cases, more than 500,000 deaths and touched over 200 nations globally while the spread remains unabated.
Nigeria has registered over 30,000 cases of the virus with over 300 fatalities while many patients have been discharged.
Though researchers and medical scientists have put on their thinking caps, with a view to finding lasting solution to the deadly novel virus, the world is yet to find cure for it.
