We express immense gratitude to the NCDC, the Delta State Government and especially Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Chiedu Ebie, the Commissioners for Health and Information, Mr Mordi Ononye and Charles Aniagwu; the Chairman, Delta State Contributory Health Commission, Dr. Isaac Akpoveta, and all frontline officials for the diligent intervention from test through treatment to discharge.

 Furthermore, we also give exceptional thanks to His Excellency, the immediate past governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan for his fatherly and expert guidance all through the time our Editor started noticing symptoms, went for testing and started treatment. You are awesome, sir.

We thank  the ZMD, Central Hospital, Warri, Dr Paul Okubor and Dr Eresanara Toju for their commitment to our Editor’s recovery.

Words will not be enough to acknowledge the priceless solidarity from Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, Deputy  President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Umeh Need Road, Delta NUJ, Colleagues, and others too numerous to mention.

Finally, we deeply appreciate the prayers and empathy from relatives, friends, staff, and ardent stakeholders of NDT.
