Adhere To Directives, Healthy Practices To Curtail Coronavirus Spread, Publishers Tell Rivers People
Despite frantic efforts to put the coronavirus pandemic under check across the globe in the last three months, the Rivers State Independent Publishers Association (RIVPA) is worried that the hydra-headed disease has continued to ravage the over 7.8 billion world population without any cure at sight.
We are however, impressed with the concern so far shown by the Rivers State government led by Gov Nyesom Ezenwo Wike through numerous proactive measures already put in place to ensure the disease does not spread in the State.
It’s interesting to note that all these measures are being taken out of compassion to safeguard the precious lives of Rivers people and residents alike in the State.
The efforts of members of RIVPA who have consistently used their newspapers to enlighten and sensitize the masses on the dangers of the coronavirus and the preventive measures, in the face of escalating prices of printing materials, are noteworthy and commendable.
The leadership and members of the Rivers State Independent Publishers Association appreciate all these efforts and wish to urge the Rivers State government to as a matter of urgency do all within its powers to quicken the process of implementing the long anticipated palliatives which are aimed at alleviating the consequent harsh effects of the ravaging disease on the people especially the poor vulnerable majority.
May we also enjoin all individuals, citizens and residents in the State to adhere strictly to all the preventive measures by the government and health experts to checkmate this all time disease that threatens humanity.
