I am honoured to
share lessons learned from Lassa fever outbreaks in Nigeria at the @RSTMH annual meeting.
The Q and A session served as an opportunity to provide insights on #COVID19 response

[Abiriba Girl! OriakuE @radiocranberry]

It's refeshing & interesting to see Nigerians finally united in numbers on the streets✊ The risk here is people are exposed to #COVID19. The NCDC must be funded and not defunded because there will be protests and other disease outbreaks in the future. #PreventEpidemicsNaija

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

We note challenges faced by Nigerian in video- a result of miscommunication btwn him & a private lab

Govt & private agencies are working hard to make system work to prevent spike in #COVID19 cases in 🇳🇬

Deeply proud of @ceetynah001 and other colleagues working incredibly hard at this time in response to #COVID19Nigeria

Also inspired by the fact that nearly all of them are young people, (and female). This beautiful piece also includes their names!

Super proud

[Oyeronke Oyebanji @OyeRonke_]

My uncles and aunties receive BCs on drugs, vaccines etc for #COVID19 & send to me with ‘Ronke pls confirm’

I’m no expert but it makes me proud that they are trying to get/pass on the right information.

Unverified information shared through broadcasts now widespread. Stop it

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Today I briefed countries on #COVID19 & called on them to:
-prioritize protecting #healthworkers
-engage communities to protect people who are most at risk of severe disease
-protect countries that are the most vulnerable
Together, we can keep the 🌍 safe from the #coronavirus.

It was great to work with @ekemma and colleagues from @EpiAFRIC + @nighealthwatch in developing this paper.

Join us as we discuss our findings and more importantly, the way forward in strengthening the capacity of health journalists in Nigeria

[Prof. Yemi Osinbajo @ProfOsinbajo]

This evening, I met with a delegation from The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control @NCDCgov led by The Director General Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu (@chikwe_i).

[NCDC @NCDCgov]

You can be protected for life with the #YellowFever vaccine! It's free for children in #Nigeria at 9 months, & available in primary health centres & government health facilities. The vaccine is safe & a single dose keeps you & your loved ones protected for life. #YellowFeverInfo

[Yul Edochie @YulEdochie]

I always thought our problem was our leaders till I joined politics and realized the people are also a big part of the problem.
If you run for office and you don't have money to share, even your village people will leave you and support a well known kidnapper who is sharing money

[NCDC @NCDCgov]

NCDC is aware of recent illnesses and deaths among tourists and students who visited Bauchi State recently. We are working closely with Bauchi State Ministry of Health and @WHONigeria to investigate further and respond appropriately.

[NCDC @NCDCgov]

This week, our six-month fellowship programme for mid-level managers at NCDC: IMPACT - 'IMproving Public health for ACTion', continues. Participants are building critical leadership, communications and management capacity. We are grateful to @IANPHIhealth for the support.

[NCDC @NCDCgov]

Several community members have been affected by #LassaFever. Scientists say the disease is spread by rats. So, let’s prevent rats from getting into our homes through proper home and environmental sanitation.

[NCDC @NCDCgov]

We are proud of this opportunity, which allows for our Risk Communications Team to play a key role in the strengthening of social science activities for outbreak preparedness and response in #WestAfrica.
