week, I tested positive for coronavirus, the pandemic that is sweeping the
world.

burdening the public health system, which faces so many pressures. Like many
others that will test also positive, I have not experienced high fever or other
symptoms associated with this new virus and have been working from home.
“I hope to be back at my desk very soon. I have a team of
young, professional, knowledgeable and patriotic colleagues, whose dedication
has been beyond the call of duty, who continue to work seven days a week, with
no time of the day spared.

Nigeria, as we have for the past five years.

knows no difference between north and south, men or women, rich or poor.

heed to quack cures or fake news from social media. President Buhari will do
whatever it takes to protect the health and safety of our people and get the
country back on its feet as soon as possible.
“Like the whole world, we are dealing with a new disease.

how we can combat it. What we do know is that while some may become very sick,
many others who contract the virus will not, and may have no symptoms at all.
