BREAKING: Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, Orders NCDC Officials On Fact-finding Mission To Go On 14-day Isolation
Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has ordered visiting officials of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control to go into isolation at a quarantine centre for 14 days.
Bello gave the directive on Thursday night when the NCDC officials led by Dr Andrew Noah showed up at the Government House, in Lokoja, the state capital.
The agency had sent a delegation of rapid response team to ascertain the true status of Kogi as a COVID-19-free state.
The governor said that the step was to ensure that the laid down procedure of checkmating the scourge by NCDC was strictly followed.
Presenting a letter titled: “Deployment of Rapid Response Squad to help in fighting COVID-19,” Dr Noah explained that the mission of the NCDC was to provide logistics to all states of the federation of which Kogi could not be left out.
He said two members of the team would be left behind to help the state and support efforts already in place.
Speaking shortly after receiving the letter, Bello outlined steps taken so far by the state to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
He then asked that the NCDC officials be subjected to testing and isolated in the state quarantine centre or leave the state immediately if they refused.

Jakarta's 'Great Garuda' Project: Profits for Re-emerging Elites in the Name of Climate Change
By Wilmar Salim, Keith Bettinger, and Micah Fisher
HONOLULU (June 21, 2019)—With a population of more than 30 million, greater Jakarta is the largest metropolitan area in Southeast Asia and one of the most densely populated urban regions in the world. The city is a major economic engine for Indonesia, accounting for approximately 25 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. Yet urban poverty remains an intractable problem, and Jakarta’s infamous traffic congestion paralyzes commerce, leaches productivity, and contributes to air pollution and associated health hazards.
