The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, said this at the weekly ministerial briefing on the update of COVID-19 pandemic on Monday, in Abuja.

 

 

 

 

 

Ehanire said that COVID -19 pandemic had not done too much havoc in the country rather the major challenge in the country was the Delta variant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“At the moment, the country is facing the challenges of the Delta variant just like other countries with other variants that are also emerging.

“Delta variant is highly contagious, which is almost 60 per cent infection. The country is trying to see how to reduce the importation of the variant to Nigeria.

“This will help the country reduce transmission among the citizenry, we will trace, tackle and diagnose all those that have already entered the country,’’ he said.

Ehanire said that the Federal Government had approved six vaccines which are Gamaleya, Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, AstraZeneca and Covishield.

 

The minister said that only eligible populations from 18 and above would be vaccinated.

According to him, the country is not only trying to get vaccines but to be producers of the vaccines.

Ehanire said that relevant agencies were carrying out their duty as expected to ensure that the country was safe.

He said that Nigeria was working hard to ensure that the country was safe; adding with 125 treatment centres and only eight per cent had been occupied.

Ehanire said that although the centres had enough space, not everybody that was infected would be taken to centres.

He said that the country has 38 new oxygen plants, while the ones not working would be repaired.

“The country has oxygen tanks in order to preserve some in case of emergencies.

“The figures of COVID- 19 is rising but we are trying to reduce the cases as we ensure that people are properly checked at the entry points such as the air, sea and land board,” the minister added.

Dr Chike Ihekweazu, the Director-General, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), said that all relevant agencies had been working together to address the pandemic.

 

Ihekweazu said that NCDC had continued to do its surveillance for new cases, adding that the government had been training doctors and nurses to ensure that Nigeria had surveillance in the states which had helped a lot to identify cases.

“The country has 178,000 cases with 2, 000 deaths. We have laboratories while opening new ones.
“The use of rapid diagnostic testing has helped a lot and agencies have offered the opportunity to test their staff.

“We are ready to support any organisation that will like to do the same,’’ he said.

Ihekweazu called on the leaders of schools, religious organisations and companies to ensure that people adhered to COVID- 19 protocol.

According to him, the country is also faced with a national crisis of cholera outbreaks in some states.

He urged the media to educate the public on what to do to avoid diseases by practising good hygiene.

Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi

Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi

Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I want to talk about something that can be difficult to accept, those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry.”

 

Those who wronged you may never say "I'm sorry" - Prudent Ludidi

We’ve all been hurt by someone at some point in our lives. And often, we hold onto that hurt, and hope in waiting for the person who wronged us to acknowledge their mistake and apologize.

But the truth is, that apology may never come.

It’s hard to accept because we feel like we deserve closure. We deserve to hear that the person who hurt us regrets their actions.

But closure is not something someone else gives you. Closure is something you give yourself.

You have the power to choose:

Choose to heal, even if they never acknowledge their wrongdoing
Choose to move forward, even if they never make amends

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. Forgiveness means releasing the hold that person has on you.

Forgiveness means taking back control of your life.

You don’t need someone else’s apology to move on. You don’t need someone else’s validation to heal.

You are strong enough to do it on your own.

And when you do, you’ll find peace. You’ll find freedom.

Remember, holding onto anger and resentment only hurts you. It doesn’t change the past.

But forgiveness can change your future.

So, don’t wait for someone else to say “I’m sorry.” Say it to yourself: “I’m sorry that happened to me, but I’m moving forward.”

Say it loud and clear: “I deserve to heal. I deserve to be happy.”

Take back your power. Take back your life.

Move forward with courage and faith.

You got this.
