According to her, Nigerians should avoid isolated areas in view of the insecurity bedevilling the country.
She also called on Nigerian workers to ensure safety at work places. “Everyone should take care of him or herself, the awareness is also for workers to take care of themselves,” she said.
She also said the aim of this year’s sensitization with the theme ‘Anticipate, Prepare and Respond To Crisis: Invest Now In Resilient Occupational Safety and Health’ is to reduce the rate of accidents at work places and the environment.
