On Friday at @NCDCgov our Director of Laboratory Services, Dr Adebayo Adedeji who has been there since the beginning of the agency officially retired from public service. An amazing colleague to celebrate!

Following the Avian Influenza outbreak in Nigeria over 10 years ago, the country became a recipient of an Influenza grant from @CDCgov. Dr Adedeji has led this grant from start, ensuring Nigeria's surveillance of #influenza virus. This is published in our #NCDCWER
Despite the difficulties experienced in managing sentinel sites across the country, Dr Adedeji's leadership has made remarkable progress. Prior to our operationalisation of the National Reference Lab, the #influenza bench was the biggest learning platform for our lab scientists
Managing information during outbreaks is such a critical part of our work that my Team and I never take for granted. In this era of whatsapp broadcasts, twitter threads etc, we continue to focus on strengthening our risk communications activities

Since we started at @NCDCgov, we have developed several ways to communicate with the public. For every suspected outbreak, we have tried to ensure that you can verify, by putting out messages within 24 hours on our social media pages/ website
Did you know that on Tuesday every week, we publish a National Weekly Epidemiological Report? You can subscribe for this on our website and read weekly updates on Nigeria's epidemic prone diseases and where there are cases
