Miss Glory Talison, 25, a sickle cell carrier, advised those living with it to live by the rules and expectations prescribed for sicklers and depend on God,
“I’m a sickle cell carrier, I call myself a sickle cell warrior because being a sickle cell patient is not an easy thing, you have to go through a lot and God is faithful; you make it through.
“But you also have to fight, you also have to live by the rules, eat healthy and stay strong. I’m still pushing because God has been there for me.
“If not for God I don’t know where I would have been by now because I’ve been down so many times.
“My advice for other sicklers out there is for you to eat healthy, take your routine drugs and lean on God and everything, I promise, everything will be fine,” she said.
While expressing gratitude to the organisers, Mrs Victoria Pam, the Principal of Federal Government School, Jos, said “there’s need to boost the educational architecture of unity schools being the most accessible education for all classes of people irrespective of their economic background”.
