�NCDC OFFICIALS FLEE KOGI STATE TO AVOID BEING TESTED FOR COVID-19

It was drama today at the Kogi State Government House as officials of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control sent to ascertain the COVID-19 status of the state fled to avoid being subjected to COVID-19 test.
It would be recalled that Kogi is one of the two states that is yet to record a single COVID-19 case in the Federation.
The officials of the NCDC said they were sent to the State to assist the state in responding to the challenges posed by the pandemic.

On receiving them, the State Governor, Alh. Yahaya Bello thanked the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari and the Presidential Task Force for rising to the occasion. He said the world must unite to defeat the virus.
The Governor reeled out the measures adopted by the State to flatten the curve on the spread of the virus in the State. He said the country must move out of the pandemic and provide structures for economic recovery.
He also disclosed that he has decided to give full insurance to frontline health workers and also increase their hazard allowance from 30, 000 naira to 50,000 naira daily to further encourage them to put in their best.
Alh Yahaya Bello however said the state has resolved to comply with the protocols of the NCDC by putting the officials in quarantine for fourteen days and take their samples to ensure they are COVID-19 free. He predicated his decision on the fact that they came from an infested area.
The Officials however refused to be tested for COVID-19 and returned to Abuja.
Reason behind the NCDC Officials fear of being tested has raised concerns for the Government of Kogi State.
The State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Kingsley Fanwo told newsmen that NCDC should come hard on its Officials for violating its rules.
“Today, the Governor showed the statesmanship in him once again by appreciating the support of the NCDC and defending the health interests of his people.
“NCDC quarantined the Chinese professionals that came to give them technical support and also took their samples for test. It is a normal practice and protocol set by NCDC.
“So NCDC will have a lot to explain as to why its officials refused to test for COVID-19. How can we be sure of their status? What are their fears? Why did NCDC send people who are afraid of test to our State? What was their intention?
“The officials that came have done an integrity blow to the works of the NCDC. Is there something they are hiding? It is time NCDC opened up and apologize to the good people of Kogi State.
“How will they encourage people to go for test when it’s own officials are afraid of test? This is sad”.
Efforts to reach NCDC has proven abortive.

Can this be true? 50000 Naira daily to health workers in this country?

NCDC office is a scam.
Another avenue to siphon and embezzle funds
Why would they reject the test if their intentions are genuine?
I do hope they are not even transmitting the virus to patients instead of testing them.
Rejecting the test if true, speaks volume

Yahaya Bello is putting his people at risk
I pray we don't have another scenario of Kano in Kogi State

Bello has refused to enforce a lockdown perhaps because he doesn't want to give palliative to Kogites
He has refused to allow health workers conduct test on because he doesn't want to take responsibility for COVID19 patients that will be isolated as their feeding and well being will be the responsibilities of the State.


We are waiting

That's not why they left. Kogi State was going to quarantine them for 2 weeks. Now,these are a team of specialists. Nigeria cannot afford to lose them for two weeks. That's why they left.

I hate Covid 19 but it has no time for political grandstanding and ,like pregnancy,it cant be hidden.

Kano went down this path but look at them now

If accepting to quarantined for 14 days is too much, what about accepting to be tested?
Are they bringing the virus from infested states to kogi? Cos to FMH and NCDC,all states must test positive?

Whole issue of testing and isolation is confusing.

If there is a test, why the need to isolate? everyone for 14days?
Is it that test results take 14days to show?
