As Muslims celebrate the Eid-el-Adha globally this Tuesday, faithful in Nigeria, especially in the Northern part, are not likely to completely revel in the season, what with the security situation in the country that is worsening by the day. There is also the issue of the Delta variant of COVID-19, which is said to be deadlier than the previous ones.
This is where religious clerics come in. They can individually, better still collectively engage the governing class to get them oriented towards investing massively in the people’s welfare.

Globally, including the very powerful Western world, ransoms get paid to criminals to secure the release of their victims, even though some countries would pretend otherwise. If 60 per cent of the existing protocols is observed and enforced, it can go a long way in taking care of whichever variant rears its head here. While efforts are intensified towards sensitising the people, government should take practical, long overdue step towards production of locally researched vaccine. That will eliminate allegation that the vaccines are specially made to de-populate the country. Locally produced vaccines may win back the people’s confidence.
