TOTAL Exploration and Production Nigeria Limited (TEPNG) has warned its host communities go shun traditions and customs detrimental to healthy living among residents.
The oil giant gave the warning through Specialist Cardiologist and Professor at the University of Uyo, Dr Eyo Ekpe who enlightened Total Offshore Communities in Rivers state Thursday in Port on a Healthy Living Awareness programme on Managing Infectious Diseases, particularly, Covid-19, HIV-AIDS and Tuberculosis.
Ekpe who spokes extensively on the causes, prevention and management of the three infectious diseases said, “Our experience, probing health attitudes in the communities shows that many residents still keep traditions or habits detrimental to science and thus make managing communicable diseases very difficult.
