Cross River State Government has raised concerns and protested plans by the Federal Government to conduct training of medical personnel on COVID-19 sample testing procedure at the Nigeria Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar.
The training was arranged without the knowledge of the state government and the implication of it being a hands-on-training is that COVID-19 samples (both positive and negative samples) will be sent to the state for the training.
Commissioner for Health, who doubles as the Chairman of the State Response Team in COVID-19, Dr. Betta Edu, lamented why the state was being put under pressure to have her enlisted as COVID-19 affected state.
Information Commissioner Asu Okang, on his part, noted that the fact that Cross River State has remained COVID-19-free till date should receive nothing but commendation and support from the Federal Government and not condemnation.
