PECNA's Yazeed Calls for Enhanced Ebola Preparedness
Yazeed, the president of the Professional Environmental Cleaners of Nigeria Association (PECNA), challenged the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Environmental Health Council of Nigeria (EHCON) regarding an imported Ebola case reported in Abuja. He questioned the effectiveness of preventive measures previously announced and demanded accountability for the implementation of health protocols.
Yazeed emphasized the importance of transparency in border screening and early detection systems, as well as the need for professional cleaners to be included in national health preparedness. He noted that PECNA had recently partnered with EHCON to train over 200 cleaning professionals on proper cleaning and disinfection practices.
Yazeed called for measurable programs for training, cleaning standards, and occupational safety, urging cleaning companies to enhance their procedures and ensure that those responsible for maintaining hygiene are protected. PECNA demands greater transparency on Ebola preparedness and stronger enforcement of environmental health standards.
