As part of the FCTA’s commitment to effectively fight the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Federal Capital Territory, the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello undertook a tour of the IDU COVID/19 Isolation and treatment center on Tuesday 22nd December 2020.
The Minister who was accompanied by senior staff of the Health and Human Services and Social Development Secretariats said that the tour was undertaken to reconfirm the functionality of all the COVID-19 Isolation and Treatment Centers in light of the second wave of the pandemic.
On completion of the tour, Malam Bello expressed satisfaction with the efforts of the Health and Human Services Secretariat in the management of the center adding that the facilities in the center are being upgraded to accommodate patients who might require further treatment such as the use of oxygen.
Also speaking, the Ag Secretary of the Health and Human Services Secretariat, Dr. Muhammed Kawu said that the Center was fully functional as it had in place a 20-bed ward for patients that might require more intensive interventions.
He also revealed that the staff of the center have been fully trained in the management of COVID-19 following the first wave and are being deployed to the center.
Dr. Kawu also reminded residents that the second wave of COVID -19 appears to be more severe than the first wave as more patients now require more intensive care just as some have succumbed to the disease.
He, therefore, called on residents to continue to maintain all the preventive measures as released by the relevant health and medical authorities.

The Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, has reiterated the new transformative vision of the Commission during his meeting with the Directors and Heads of Departments of the Commission.
The interactive sessions allowed senior officials to introduce themselves to the new DG, who emphasized the importance of strategic, standardized and scientific approach to the Commission’s operations, including the conduct of Sports Federation Elections.
In his remarks, Olopade stressed the need for reforms that would attract top administrators to vie for leadership roles within Nigeria’s Sports Federations.
“There is no way we can’t be looking at having top industry CEOs on board in our Sports Federations,” he stated.
The DG also highlighted the Commission’s mandate to elevate the Corporate image of various Sports in Nigeria.
He reemphasized the NSC’s commitment to reviving key initiatives such as the National Sports Industry Policy and the 10-Year Football Master Plan.
“The Chairman and myself strongly believe we need to have a different approach to our Federation Elections,” he noted.
“This is why the emphasis of the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a balanced approach to both sports consumption and sports production.”
The meeting reflects the new direction of the NSC, with Olopade pledging to champion and support policies that will foster professionalism and sustainable development across Nigeria’s sports landscape.
