UNICEF Takes Lassa Fever Campaign To Anambra by Nobody: 6:47am On Nov 18, 2016 |
By Vincent Ujumadu
Awka— FOLLOWING the recent outbreak of Lassa fever that claimed three
lives in Anambra State, including a medical doctor, the United Nations
Children’s Fund, UNICEF, has mounted an enlightenment campaign in five
local government areas in the state believed to be directly or indirectly
affected by the disease, to educate the people on how to avoid contracting it.
The five local government areas are Orumba North, where the deceased
medical doctor hailed from; Nnewi North where the doctor died at the
Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital located in the town; Ayamelum
and Anambra West, where two women who died from the effect of the
disease at Asaba, Delta State, hailed from, as well as Anaocha, which has
boundaries with Orumba North and Nnewi North.
The UNICEF –assisted Communications Officer (SOMTEC) in Anambra State,
Mrs. Chineze Ileka, who is leading high –powered officials on the
enlightenment programme expected to end next week, said the world body
was worried about the loss of lives through Lassa fever in the state, even
when there was no outbreak of the disease in the state.
Those participating in the enlightenment programme were stakeholders from
all the communities in the five local government areas, who were expected to
further educate their people at the grass root level on ways of avoiding the
spread of the disease. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/unicef-takes-lassa-fever-campaign-anambra/ cc lalasticlala mynd44 |

Nice one from UNICEF I remembered when such an exercise was to be conducted in Ebonyi; Cross-River and Edo and how the Anambra bragging chalartans bragged that they wouldn't be needing UNICEF that they don't have anything to do with lassa fever. Is just like me bragging lassa fever can never come Enugu,God forbid though but we never can tell Moral of th story is do not laugh and cajor your neighbour when things aren't fine BC u may be cajored for same reason later and that time it could even be worse |
