Shehu Dalhu Abdul Mumin, Leader of the Shia Mission in Northern Region and Chief of the Zongo Community In Tamale has written to the Northern Regional Coordinating Council for the approval of the formation of a volunteering group towards the fight of coronavirus in our dear region.
In a letter signed by Shehu Dalhu Abdul Mumin and addressed to the Regional Coordinating Director, he pointed out that their estimation of both Health workers and facilities ratio to the public call for a back-up support in the event of mass infections, hence there is the need for volunteer groups which will help augment efforts of health workers on ground.
According to Shehu Dalhu Abdul Mumin, “We want to pledge our support to complement the efforts of stakeholders in arresting the situation. We shall be available for any critical role including the management of stigma, attending to victims and providing any support deem important for the control and management of the coronavirus pandemic.”
By this letter he is also seeking for the volunteer group to be officially recognized and introduced to the necessary quarters for further deliberations and assigned roles to play in remedying the situation.
