The Bayelsa State Government on Friday suspended all forms of medical outreach program in public and private schools across the state following the scare of a purported injection given to students against the viral 'MonkeyPox' disease.

The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson announced the suspension at a joint press briefing with his health counterpart, Prof. Ebitimitula Etebu.

Iworiso-Markson said the government will monitor the situation and ensure strict compliance while urging the management of schools to verify the identity of those who come around there premises for one thing or the other.

He described as deliberate misinformation the development which has led to the panic and withdrawal of students by parents from schools and stressed that there is no such thing happening.

Speaking also, the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Etebu debunked the rumour, saying it is unhealthy and called on parents to return their children back to schools as the government is on top of the situation.

" I want to say that there is no vaccination against 'MonkeyPox'. So proprietors of schools should not allow any stranger to come and administer such on their pupils. Anyone dressed in Army uniform, clinical or lab cloth injecting children should be reported".

"The rumour is unhealthy and we condemn it. As a government, we are on top of the case and we will get to the root of where this falsehood emanated from" he said.

the fear of Nigerian military

good move

I dont believe the army medical outreach is causing any harm but buhari has destroyed any remaining unity in this country.
Apart from SW who are ashamed to accept that they voted a tyrant the rest of the south are no more interested in Nigeria. Somewhere in SS i saw army truck passing and people were murmuring with hatred filled in their eyes. Independence day no single white and green attire was seen around SS and SE . Even myself have didnt imagine i will hate this entity called nigeria the way I do.

Thanks to buhari
Nigeria has never been divided all because of hatred for the better south.
All these are time bombs waiting to explode one day southerners will really be fed up and kanu's ipob will be a joke

What a shame!
See what Buhari and Bututai have reduced the army to...
