While appreciating the workers for their tireless efforts in the public and private sectors, Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Okoro, who now is Special Adviser to the State Governor on Rural and Community Development, specially praised those in the health sector for putting their lives on the line to save others from the deadly virus COVID-19, referring to them as the Country’s Heroes of the moment.


He particularly commended medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, ambulance drivers, volunteers of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), auxiliary staff, cleaners, those working in isolation centers, care givers, general hospital personnel and all other workers who put their lives at risk to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
