International bodies keep appointing Umu chwuku okekeabema.Only one burukutu sipping Man from nowhere refused to see anything good about them.

Ok. It is noted.

Commendable.... the man is worthy of the appointment.
NCDC is doing really well compared to its counter part agencies in other countries. I pray this doesn't interfere with him running the NCDC.

Ok

What kind of source is this?

how is ncdc doing well?

To do their bidding. That is why they are not keen to talk about the cure. They are more interested in passing a bill for vaccines
