EKSG to Covid-19 Patients: Make yourself available for treatment
… Vows to sanction establishment that contravene environmental, sanitation guidelines.
Ekiti State Government on Monday called on individuals that test positive to Covid-19 infection in the State to make themselves available for admission and treatment in the State institutions designated for Covid-19 treatment, saying being a positive patient is not a death sentence if managed early.
The Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr (Mrs) Mojisola Yaya-Kolade stated this in Ado Ekiti during a press briefing on the activities of Covid-19 Taskforce in the State.
Noting recent spike in positive cases of Covid-19 infection in the State, Dr Yaya-Kolade said the refusal of some individuals who had tested positive to show up for medical care put their health and that of their families and the community at great risk.
She revealed that the State currently had 67 active with 15 of the cases on admission adding that the State had enough capacity to admit, manage and treat infected patients.
Speaking on distribution of cases per local government, the Commissioner revealed that Ado Ekiti local government had the highest distribution with about 57% of the total cases. She added that Oye and Ise-Orun had 2% and 7% respectively of the total cases recorded in the State.
According to her; “there has been a little bump in our cases of Covid-19 in Ekiti State compared to what we had in the last four months. “Quite a lot of new cases are coming in for admission since the interstate boundaries shutdown was lifted but we are managing them by supporting their immune system, so that everybody recovers and testing to making sure everybody is negative before they are discharged.
Compared to other states, we are doing well but not withstanding, we will keep an eye on the numbers though our the capacity for admitting patients is still intact.
“I will encourage our people that test positive to make themselves available to be admitted. It makes no sense to be positive and be running to the bush, when you run to the bush you are putting yourself at risk, you are putting your family at risk, you are becoming a public health hazard to yourself and community and you are creating a problem for the State.” She explained.
“We have all heard that Covid-19 is not a death sentence, but it can do significant damage which may lead to death if it is not detected early and properly managed. That is why you need medical care if you test positive.”
On the reopening of Churches, she explained that religious leaders now understand that the stance of government on guidelines for the reopening of worship centers was hinged on the safety and goodwill of the people of the State, noting that some Churches have started to show compliance to those directives.
Meanwhile the Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Mr Gbenga Agbeyo, vowed that Government would not hesitate to prosecute any establishment that fails to comply with government guidelines as stipulated in the environmental health and sanitation law of the State.
Agbeyo reiterated that the state government is committed to the protection of lives and properties of its residents especially of the issue of making the state free of Covid-19 infection.
He said: “Government has advised based on guidelines as stipulated in the environmental health and sanitation law of our state and it involves ensuring that the fumigation and the material to be used are handled by registered and lincensed environmental health officer of various local government areas. “We want this to form the basis for the issuance of a certificate of fumigation at no cost by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.
“On this note I want to warn our worship centers and private school owners against violating or deviating from the stipulated guidelines for fumigation as government would prosecute any erring establishment that goes against the state modalities,” the Commissioner explained.
COAS Launches Nationwide Security Renewal Mission in Plateau
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of security chiefs to Plateau State, flagging off a nationwide security renewal mission aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation and restoring lasting peace across the country.
The visit to Jos, the Plateau State capital, marks the first phase of a coordinated national effort to address persistent security challenges through joint operations, community engagement, and proactive intelligence gathering.
Governor Caleb Muftwang received the delegation, describing the initiative as a critical step toward stabilizing affected communities and reinforcing public confidence in security institutions.
Civil-Military Synergy Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the mission is a renewed emphasis on collaboration between the military, civil authorities, and local communities. Speaking during the visit, Lt. Gen. Shaibu stressed that national security must be treated as a collective responsibility.
He urged citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant, sharing credible information, and complying with lawful directives, noting that effective security cannot be achieved in isolation.
Community Engagement as Confidence-Building Tool
In a departure from purely operational engagements, the Army Chief held direct consultations with community leaders and residents in Jos, reinforcing the importance of trust and dialogue in conflict resolution.
Lawmakers, including Dachung Bagos and Ladi Dangyok, commended the initiative, stating that visible engagement by top military leadership helps rebuild confidence among citizens and fosters cooperation.
Proactive Security Operations Underway
Operational updates were provided by Major General Folusho Oyinlola, who disclosed that troops under Operation Enduring Peace have intensified surveillance, intelligence-led patrols, and coordinated actions with other security agencies.
According to the Army, the approach is designed to prevent escalation of threats, safeguard lives and property, and stabilize vulnerable communities before crises emerge.
A Shift Toward Sustainable Peace
Military authorities emphasized that the Plateau visit is part of a broader, long-term strategy to transition from reactive responses to sustainable peacebuilding nationwide. The framework includes strengthening local resilience, ensuring justice, and maintaining continuous engagement with stakeholders.
Analysts view the initiative as a significant policy shift, reflecting a more inclusive security architecture that integrates community participation with military operations.
Call for National Unity
The Army leadership concluded with an appeal to Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and support ongoing efforts to promote unity and peace.

Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor
……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.
These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.
The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.
