The People’s Republic of China has written the Federal
Government of Nigeria, stating the current situation of Nigerian citizens in
the country concerning the Coronavirus pandemic.
There have been reports of inhumane treatment against the
citizens of Nigeria and other African countries in Guangzhou and other major
cities in the Asian country.
In the letter from the Foreign Affairs Office of the
Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, circulating on social media, the
Chinese government suggested that the Nigerians may not have been totally
submitting to the rules and regulations of the cities in the fight against
Coronavirus.
It said according to the data reported on April 21, 2020, by
the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, among Nigerian citizens in
Guangzhou, 56 cases have tested positive and 65 cases of close contact.
Part of the letter address the to Consulate-General of
Nigeria in Guangzhou said, “We hereby kindly request Consuls-General of Nigeria
in Guangzhou to urge Nigerian citizens in China to comply with the law of the
People’s Republic of China on the prevention and treatment of infectious
diseases, law of frontier health and quarantine of the People’s Republic of
China, public health emergency regulations, etc., support and cooperate with
the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government with any work related to prevention
and control of COVID-19.
“Also remind them to carry out self-protection, reduce
outdoor activities, avoid going to crowded areas, do not organize or
participate in mass gatherings.”

consulates after it was evident that China no longer welcomes Africans into its
major cities, such as Guangdong Province, Beijing and others.
