The National Alumni Association of Osun State College of Technology Esa-Oke, has felicitated with Christians in Nigeria and the diaspora as they celebrate the Christmas.

OSCOTECH alumni however, urged the citizens to continue to observe the COVID-19 precautionary measures, stating that the pandemic is yet to be over.

The OSCOTECH Alumni in a statement signed by its National President, ESV(Prince) Adenle Olaniyan and made available to newsmen in Osogbo, said Christmas brings to the fore the urgent need for the unity of Nigeria, which he described as “sacrosanct, inviolable and paramount.”

According to the association’s President, as Christians celebrate Christmas tomorrow, there is the need for each and everyone of us to take precautionary measures against the dreaded coronavirus pandemic.

Residents should cautioned against
continuous violations of COVID-19 safety protocols, because the infection rate could spike beyond control unless the rules are respected.

“The last few days have seen sudden rise in our infection rates while more deaths have been recorded across the federation.

“OSCOTECH alumni appeals to residents to avoid crowded places, use their face masks while in public space, sneeze into their elbows, and wash their hands with soap constantly.

“We want to urge citizens to kindly note that COVID-19 is still with us and we must avoid anything that may trigger public health emergency in the state and Nigeria as a whole.”

He prayed for God’s blessings, mercies and good tiding on this auspicious occasion, wishing all Christians a merry Christmas and many happy returns.
