THE Anambra State Health Commissioner, Vincent Okpala, has pleaded with Ndi Anambra to `watch and pray’ against uncertain times currently pervading the entire country.
“The mood of the nation is like that of a woman in labour. We should pray and act right,’’ Okpala made the appeal, while being interviewed by newsmen in Awka.
According to him, our leader the Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, in his characteristic proactive way, has made inspiring appeals to the youth for calm across the state and the nation.
Okpala said he was quite encouraged by the content of Gov. Obiano’s speech, which embodied a leadership style that had set the state apart as one of the most responsive in calming frayed nerves in the country.
“The Governor’s speech has lent credence to the fact that his administration has continued to explore ways to tap into the innovative and creative energies of the Anambra youth.
“It is quite unfortunate that we are now caught in-between three serious public health challenges; a pandemic caused by SARS-CoV; the risk of traumatic loss of life or limb resulting from the #endSARS protest; and the consequences of the perennial flooding in our flood-prone communities.’’
The commissioner re-assured that the state Ministry of Health, being an essential services ministry would continue to provide its services to Ndi Anambra.
“Our paramedics and ambulances have been on red alert and will continue to provide emergency medical services, whenever and wherever needed.
“As normalcy returns, we count on your continued support as we strive to keep upholding the sanctity of human life.
“We will get through this, together and unscathed,’’ Okpala said.
