The Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ughelli Correspondents chapter, Delta State has come out to blast the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa led administration, accusing him of failing to tackle the increasing insecurity in the state.

NUJ recently revealed that the shutting down of major wards in the Ughelli Central Hospital in Ughelli North local government area of the state over COVID-19 scare is a wrong move, as it has led to the death of several Deltans in the state.

According to the journalists, a POS operator who was shot at Ekuigbo-Ughelli also left the world as a result of excessive bleeding because he could not secure medical attention on time.

NUJ added that they are not against the pro-activeness of the Delta State government in curbing the spread of the Coronavirus in the state, but they should not be hasty with their decisions.

A recent statement read, “We are not against the pro-activeness of the Delta State government in curbing the spread of the Coronavirus in the state, but the actions of the government seem to be hasty in making certain decisions.

“This is because issues of health challenges are not things that could be postponed as any little sickness can kill if not diagnosed and treated on time. It must also be noted that many of these persons being denied medicare are subscribers of the Delta State Health Insurance Scheme, and are still paying their subscriptions till date despite the COVID-19 scare as its being deducted from source.”

“Congress also berated the Delta State Government for her failure to address the growing insecurity in the state despite several boast it has made in recent times and call on the state government to be up and doing in fulfilling its primary democratic responsibilities to citizens of the state which is the security of lives and properties.”
