MY FACE MASK EXPERIENCE; ANOTHER CASE OF MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN

Hardly has the breakout of the pandemic coronavirus reached a month in Nigeria and those in pharmaceutical business even notable stores in Akure, Owo and Ondo town have drawn their long forks and considered it something to feast on and a means to cash out on the masses.

Pharmaceutical business since outbreak of coronavirus in Nigeria is now a  money doubling scheme.

How do we explain the outrageous prices of face masks and hand gloves in the face of Covid_19? How justifiable is this increase.

A pack which sells from #700-#1000  is now being sold for #15,000. Why do we derive joy making gains from pains.

Is corruption still from above or runs in the system of every Nigerian but with different opportunities to exploit.

Nigeria may not get the  healing we so much crave if we still have the myopic thought that political office holders are the root of our problems.

We hereby call on all relevant regulatory bodies and government agencies to clamp down on these excesses and rise in favour of the common man.

Member, Representing Akure South Constituency 1
