President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday spoke on the death of 20 doctors killed by COVID-19, asserting that no reward was too much for the sacrifices of the nation’s health workers.
This is as he vowed that his administration would give the welfare of health workers the priority it deserved.
The president made the assertion on Saturday while reacting to the case of 20 doctors killed by COVID-19 in the course of discharging their duties.
Said the president: “The death of our front line health workers in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic is particularly sad because these professionals risk their own lives in order to save others.”
According to the president, “our health workers are making maximum sacrifices for the country in line with their humanitarian calling, and this administration will leave no stone unturned in order to ensure their needs are met.”
He noted that “our health workers are operating under severe limitations, but they are undeterred in discharging their duties in saving lives.”
Meanwhile, the president has also expressed his sadness over the demise of the Galadiman Lokoja, Chief Godwin Ajakpo, and the chairman of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga (Rtd), a former military governor.
