Opening remark by Vivian (Ogbaru LGA Coordinator), stating that all members in attendance should introduce his or herself before other members. I further explained details of our responsibilities as members, I also informed them the reason for the change of name (from NVG - National Volunteer Group on Covid-19 to I.D.C.V.T - Infection disease control Volunteer team).

Ekechi Martin after introduction, he addressed the colleague's motivating them so work effectively in their various wards should have cove out the Outbreak of the disease called Covid-19. He further gives reason why Communities must participate effectively towards ensuring that the disease we are controlled spending when the proper drugs for the treatment of the disease is produced by the authorities. he equally advised colleagues to be punctual in this project and to ensure intensive training teaching or lecturing on the preventive measures such as wearing of face masks, common use of hand sanitizer and constants neatness in the premises.

Valentine from Okpoko 6 while appreciating the local government coordinator stated that some people doesn't use make use of face mask effectively as directed by the authorities, a further educate colleagues to spread the information on proper way of using face mask to avoid contaminating the so-called disease known as covid-19.

Vivian (Ogbaru LGA Coordinator) while trying to comment on the issues raised so far, further states that our benefactors in is seriously interested on does putting this work into control. Face mask with some items will be given to us to share in our various words but we cannot wait for that one to be provided why the authorities rather make efforts to source funds in our various community. She further said that the letter heading is out so that we can write to organisation individual and politicians among others.

Okpoko member of the team while supporting the issues raised further advice they colleagues stating that when educating ward members should please introduce them with sanitizer, face mask and that they should constantly wash their hands. The issue of source of fund is very important because it will promote the service effectively.

Ekechi Martin stands up to address the fund issue raised. Stating that the state coordinator should give us introductory letter with letter heading, ID card and subsequent others to enable us do the job perfectly, he further said that some organisation may be interested to support but demand for the account details bearing the names of the subheading of the letter as may be forwarded by the state coordinator.

Ogwuekpere member stated that most of the activities that doesn't pay is always hard for people to comply. Face mask, hand sanitizer and buckets, if possible government should at least support the masses with it and it will equally help us to do the campaign effectively. Most of the countries that are affected by the disease do share the items. He further encourages members while addressing understand apply neatness because neatness is the most solution to the disease.

On the process the zonal coordinator arrived, Vivian (Ogbaru coordinator) after introducing the zonal coordinator (Henry Nwankwo)... Henry Nwankwo after greeting the Volunteers, advise the masses to put more effort towards fighting the disease, that he is happy because in Nigeria individual corporate to volunteer themselves but government support is not much available. Outside the Country government is ready to support but nobody is ready to volunteer themselves for the service. He further praises state that the program is not political program. That whenever anything is brought to share to the community that it should be shared accordingly.

He further praise Vivian (Ogbaru coordinator) for acting towards the instruction given by the state coordinator and equally appeal to the member that t-shirt, cap and some other items bearing the name I.D.C.V.T shall be distributed among members to help fasting the job effectively as part of the materials that will help to control covid-19.
