Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, on Saturday, commended the federal government and the drive by the Nigeria Agip Oil Company and its joint venture partners to combat COVID-19 through the consolidation and improvement of medical facilities.
In a press release by his Acting Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, the governor described the COVID-19 pandemic as the defining global health predicament of our time and the greatest challenge faced in several generations. “However, we are now dealing with a new reality, with the confirmation of an index case and four members of her family. So the timing of this event when the dynamics have altered is most welcome.
Chief Sylva, in his remarks, said the Nigerian oil and gas industry has embarked on an industry-wide collaborative and prevention initiative to combat the pandemic under the leadership of the NNPC. “This action is taken to support the national healthcare delivery facility and strengthen our collective national resolve in combating this pandemic,” Sylva said.
