To achieve the feat, the experts submitted that Nigeria needed “the full and willing participation of the people; a high level of organisation within communities; strong and decentralised public health services which include an efficient testing, tracing and isolation capacity; continued limiting of large religious, sporting and social gatherings of all kinds – especially indoor gatherings – and Behaviour Change Communication strategies customised to local languages and cultures.
“The survival of many of us will depend on both our individual conduct and that of the collective,” it added.The six-page paper observed that the current centralised response system, led by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control , is not swift, thus giving room to dissatisfaction and distrust from the citizenry.
