However, the minister while speaking at a news conference in Abuja on Friday, “As of the three cases, one of them, we are expecting the result; it takes some hours for the results to come out. ”
”We must go away from the idea of focusing on Chinese or any particular nationality because a case that entered Nigeria, which is the index case is not Chinese.
“People should maintain good social distance. We have already strengthened the screening of every passenger that enters this country.”
