Former Minister of External Affairs, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi on Monday called on the Federal Government to bestow Presidential Honour on victims of Ebola outbreak in Nigeria.
Akinyemi, who made the call in an interview in Lagos, said that all the living and dead Nigerians that showed dedication to duty during the outbreak of the Ebola, should be honoured.
The President should as a matter of urgency send a bill to the National Assembly to establish a Presidential Medal of Honour for these Nigerians who showed exceptional dedication to duty.
The following should receive the first three medals: Dr Stella Ameyo Adedevoh, the First Consultant Hospital and Ms Justina Ejelonu. They died so that we can live.
This has to be done now because we Nigerians have short memories. By this time next year, we would have moved on to other things
