Mohammed Bello, minister of the federal capital territory
(FCT), has tested positive for COVID-19.
Bello announced his status in a statement posted on his
Facebook page on Friday.
The minister said he started feeling sick on Tuesday and
subsequently took the test.
“After a hide and seek period spanning 21 months (1yr 9
months) between COVID-19 and my humble self, the virus finally caught up with
me during the dying days of 2021. After feeling unwell since 28th December, I
decided to do a COVID-19 test yesterday morning,” he said.
“The result came out
positive this morning. Currently doing fine, with some sore throat, feverish
feeling, and mild running nose. Undertaking treatment and isolation at home.”
The minister praised medical personnel in the nation’s
capital who have been making efforts to curb the spread of the virus.
“I salute and wish all the medical personnel in the FCT and
beyond who have been in the front line fighting this pandemic a happy and
prosperous new year 2022. I pray for the quick recovery of all of us currently
afflicted with COVID-19,” he said.
“I have been informed
by the experts that my case is mild because I took two shots of the COVID-19
vaccine.”
The minister appealed to persons “who have not been
vaccinated against COVID-19 to do so”.
