COVID -19: NCDC Chief Names Nigeria’s Main Problems
Effective collection and adequate detection of cases by public health staff are the main challenges confronting Nigeria in its fight against COVID-19, said Chikwe Ihekweazu, Director-General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
Ihekweazu while speaking at the daily Presidential Task Force (PTF) briefing on Tuesday said laboratory testing capacity is no longer a challenge as government has put in place necessary resources.
“The challenge right now is not the laboratory testing capacity.
”It is how active our public health workforce is in identifying suspected cases, collecting samples, and sending them into the lab for testing.
“So the limiting factor is not the lab, the limiting factor is getting the right samples into the labs and that’s our collective responsibility for the next two weeks,” he said.
He said though the country’s testing capacity has increased to 1,500 per day, the target is to get to 2,000 in places like Lagos that has recorded high cases of COVID-19 infection.
”We have sufficient capacity to test 1,500 right now and we are not close to exhausting that capacity every day.
”From today, we have to push even harder. Our target following Mr president’s speech is to get to 2,000 samples a day in Lagos, 1,000 in Abuja and 1,000 for the rest of the country.
“If we don’t create more light into what we are doing, we won’t really understand what we are,” Mr Ihekweazu said.
In Nigeria, 373 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed of which 99 have been discharged and eleven deaths recorded.
As of the time of reporting, 19 states and the FCT have confirmed at least a case of the virus in Nigeria.
Lagos State has now reported 214 cases, followed by FCT – 58, Osun – 20, Edo – 15, Oyo – 11, Ogun – 9, Bauchi, Kaduna and Akwa Ibom – 6, Katsina – 5, Kwara and Kano – 4, while Ondo and Delta have 3 cases each. Enugu, Ekiti, and Rivers have two cases each, while Niger, Benue, and Anambra have recorded one each.
Mr Ihekweazu said Nigeria started building its laboratory capacity following the COVID-19 outbreak in China.
”When the COVID-19 virus broke out a few months ago in China, we immediately started building up our laboratory capacity.
“In under four months, we have now activated a total of 12 labs across the country to bring testing closer to the people and to make sure that we have at least one laboratory in every zone.
”We will keep pushing until we get one in every state,” the NCDC boss said.
He said the focus for the government in the next two weeks is to replicate the efforts made in Lagos State, in other states of the country.
“In addition to the work in Lagos, we have to replicate the same thing across the entire country.
“I appeal to state governments to focus on these processes, how to get teams out in the streets, identify patients that may be cases, collect samples and send these samples through the mechanisms that we have set up and let us increase testing.
”It is only by increasing testing that we can provide light,” he said.
Mr Ihekweazu noted that resources have been made available by both federal and state governments to tackle the pandemic.
“Both the federal and state government have done everything possible to release the resources required for the response.
“Our challenge now is how to connect the dots and make the response more efficient,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, said plans are underway to create a structured Patient Transport Plan within the new FMoH Action Plan capturing all states.
He said this will enhance the speedy transfer of patients as Nigeria gradually slips into community transmission of COVID-19.
“This is important in the event of the need to transfer patients from one centre to another. The Federal Ministry of Health and its agencies are developing the new National Action Plan as a strategy to respond to the imminent phase of COVID-19 community transmission,” he said.
President Buhari, National Assembly Leaders Meet To Handle Coronavirus Funds
President Muhammadu Buhari discussed yesterday with Senate President Ahmad Lawan and House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila on the organization of COVID-19 donation management by some Nigerians.
The National Assembly leadership also tabled before the President the need for a two-month free electricity for the citizenry observing the lockdown ordered by President Buhari.
Speaking with State House correspondents after the meeting held behind closed doors, the Senate President said the meeting dwelt much on the efforts by the government to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and equitable distribution of the palliatives.
He said: “The leadership of the National Assembly has been holding series of meetings with Ministers and the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and this afternoon we had an engagement with the President to discuss with him what we have resolved as leaders of the National Assembly and our opinion on various issues regarding the fight against COVID-19 in Nigeria as well as going forward.
“For example, the various donations that we are receiving should go into a single account and should have a fund management committee that would be in charge of releases. Accountability and transparency require that we have that separation.
“It is also an opportunity for us to commend Nigerians and corporate bodies that have given us donations but we believe there should be more coordination as far as the management of the funds is concerned. I believe the Presidential Task Force is doing a very good job, they have been very proactive and they deserve our commendation.”
Senator Lawan also called for a review of the way the social investment programme of government was being implemented to reach more Nigerians, especially the category of people the programme was meant for.
He said: “We also believe that it is time to reform the manner we implement the social investment programme. This is a very important programme that is meant to help the poor and vulnerable Nigerians and we believe that having implemented it for four years or more, we should review to evaluate the efficiency with which we have been implementing the programme.
“I believe that we also need to legislate on how to fight poverty in Nigeria because this is one issue that has been there for quite some time and, therefore, there is need for us to have a very clear and well spelt out processes and procedures on how to tackle poverty.
“There should be very little or no room for discretion so that we have a programme that will be very transparent and should go deep down to those who really deserve to have the support and should be such an equitable and fair programme as far the geographical spread across the country is concerned.”
He said that the National Assembly was on standby to reconvene and thrash the issue of the N500 billion stimulus package on cushioning the effects of COVID-19 proposed by government when presented to it.
Also speaking, speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, said they discussed the issue of providing free electricity for Nigerians as result of the lockdown on COVID-19, so as to make them more comfortable as they stay at home.
He said: “You know I am very passionate about electricity for our people. Interestingly, I brought it up today (yesterday) and we discussed that with the President and hopefully in a matter of days he will meet with the stakeholders on electricity. I impressed on him my position, the DISCOs have their issues, no question about it but at this point in time we need to put that aside and think of the Nigerian people.”
“The President listened very attentively and I think hopefully whatever the issues are we will be able to resolve them at least for these two months and then long-term, how electricity will not be an issue but what is imperative right now, is when you ask people to remain at home, you must make that home a little bit comfortable for them.”
