Nigeria’s Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, has said
the Federal Government did not invite the Chinese doctors who came into the
country last Wednesday to help with the fight against Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Ehanire made the clarification during an appearance on
Channels TV’s News at 10 on Saturday.
Recall that a 15-man COVID-19 medical team was
invited to assist Nigeria in efforts to contain the pandemic.
“I think in the first place we didn’t bring them in, and I
think China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) in its wisdom
and probably in its corporate social responsibility thought they should bring
people in to come and help us and give advice,” Ehanire said.
“We didn’t issue an invitation, but we are not unhappy that
they are here because we can learn from their experience.
“These people have been through it, and we want to start
with a video conferencing with them even while they are isolated so that we can
try to learn from their experiences.
“There is nothing better than learning from someone who has
actually suffered an event and been inflicted with an injury.”
Meanwhile, the total number of Coronavirus cases in Nigeria
has increased to 323, according to NCDC.
