Oyo Warns Nuj Over Misinformation by ramzylipi(m): 10:02pm On Mar 24, 2020

The Oyo state government today described as false and complete misrepresentation, a statement credited to a committee of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) indicating that the state was not ready to tackle the COVID-19 scourge.

The state Governor Seyi Makinde in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Print Media, Moses Alao, stated that the state was not only ready but doing everything to halt the spread of the virus.

The statement positioned that the NUJ committee statement was given out of lack of adequate information and probably with the intent to mislead the residents of the state.

The statement government maintained that the NUJ ‘Committee’ misinformed the public by confusing the Infectious Disease Centre in Olodo for an Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), which Governor Makinde said would be set up within 72 hours from Friday, 20 March, 2020.

It noted that while the facility in Olodo was re-designated on a permanent basis to take care of Infectious Disease Control, it should not be confused for an isolation centre or an EOC.

The statement noted that the EOC, which has been activated, was not open to the public yet, adding that the centre was already operational.

The state government added that it was equally surprising that the NUJ Committee failed to differentiate between the Isolation Centres and facilities belonging to the University College Hospital (UCH) and the Army, which are federal entities and entities set up and controlled by the Oyo State government, noting that if the NUJ Committee would not be deemed mischievous, it should have waited to see the 10-bed Isolation Centre inspected by Governor Makinde on Monday, which already hosts an individual who has tested positive to COVID-19.
The state government maintained that though Governor Makinde did not at any point claim to have made resources available to UCH or any other federal facility in the state, as a responsive and responsible government, it is collaborating with the UCH to deploy the wealth of expertise to fighting the Coronavirus pandemic in the state.
