WE WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO THE PRESSURE OF ANNOUNCING A COVID 19 CASE WHERE THERE IS NONE SAYS KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT

We are under pressure to declare that we have COVID 19 cases where there is none 

This was made Health in a known statement on Thursday by the Kogi State Commissioner for Health. Dr Saka Haruna, 

The commissioner, however, said the state would not succumb to the pressure.

The statement followed a report, which claimed that four persons suspected to be COVID-19 patients had died at the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja in the last one week.

He said that as the state commissioner for health, a member of the Governing Board of the FMC Lokoja, and also the incident manager for COVID-19 in the state, he had yet to be informed of any claim 

The commissioner alleged that the aim of those putting pressure on the state was to politicise the situation as they are not happy that the current administration has been scored high by local and international observers on health care.
