Some activists, medical and theater professionals held a rally
in Ikeja, Lagos State today to educate the public on the
threat of Ebola virus.
A high point
in the agenda for the rally was their joint opposition of the September
22nd date set for resumption of schools.
Leading the rally, women's activist and leader of the Women Arise group, Dr.
Joe Okei-Odumakin, said the resumption of schools without provision fpr running
waters, sanitary items and renovation of school toilets is an invitation to a
public epidemic.
Reiterating Dr. Odumakin's position, veteran Nollywood actor, Prince Jide
Kosoko, said school toilets are an eyesore that put children at susceptible
ends to disease infection.
All participants at the rally called on the Government to ensure proper
renovation of school toilets and ensure provision of sanitary equipment before
resumption is allowed.
