“I request that other incentives that would boost the morale of our members as they discharge their duties should be put in place

“More testing molecular laboratories and isolation centres should be put in place in our various designated hospitals,” he said.

He advised all frontline health workers to keep safe as they render their services in keeping others alive.

The national president described the inauguration of the unit executives as a dream come true after so many years of waiting.

Ogbonna urged the new executives to work for the welfare of members and uplifting of the union’s goals and aspirations in the FCTA.

He admonished members of the chapter to cooperate with the new executives for maximum success.

The  NUAHP General Secretary, Martin Egbanubi, described the FCTA Unit of the union as synonymous with the epicentre of the union’s activities.

Egbanubi said that the union had for long looked forward to the event where relevant professionals in the Hospital Management Board of FCTA would be officially admitted into the union and have democratically elected leaders.

As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now!
