In a very inspiring speech, the NCDC boss praised their efforts to the high heavens.

From the public health workers to the drivers, staff of the Federal Ministry of Health, to private doctors, Ihekweazu said a hearty thank-you.

"Whether you are public health worker, driver, doctor, a staff of the Federal Ministry of Health, I want to thank you all for playing a part in this response," the NCDC boss said.

Encouraging them to keep pushing, he added that they are all in this fight together.

"We need you to keep pushing. Many of them have families at home. Every day, they do work: drive ambulances, treat patients, collect samples. We are all in this together and we will do the very best to get us back on track," the DG enthused.
