In order not to spread the dreaded
Ebola virus, the Lagos State
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide
Idris, on behalf of Lagos State
Government visited Pastor TB. Joshua's
Synagogue to advice them against
opening their doors to people from
West African countries with the
disease .
Idris said,
“We have our strategies that we intend
to share with you. Again, we need to
know the resources you have here
because whether it is one or two cases,
if they are allowed to get out, it is a
major problem. We are here to work
together on how to contain this
disease.”
Another member of the delegation and
Director, Centre for Disease Control
(CDC), Professor Abdulsalami Nasidi
said.
We are here to engage you positively,
we know the powers of this House and
your powers and we are duty- bound to
protect you and your congregation. We
have no doubt the power God has
given you, we cant do that, but we
want to help and make it work
stronger
Reacting to their visit, Prophet Joshua,
promised to work with government by
suspending most of his major church
healing programs and also said , he
would visit those countries than allow
their residents come to Nigeria
In his words...
“I am ready to work with you. I love
my country and I will be ready to work
with you. Even if it is a rumour, there
is need to secure our environment to
ensure that it is safe.”
