COVID-19: We cannot explain where the Chinese Doctors ― Federal Government.
From popular questions on the whereabouts of the Chinese doctors to Nigeria, The Federal Government has said it does not know the where the Chinese doctors and technicians are, who came into the country to offer assistance to Nigeria in the fight against the Coronavirus.
Speaking at the daily briefing of the PTF in Abuja on Thursday, the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, wondered why there was so much interest in knowing their whereabouts and he told journalists not to ask him the question again.
Osagie said:
“I want to explain first of all that I think not all of them were doctors and I heard that some of them are technicians, but they are the staff of CCECC, the Ministry of health is not their host, so we can’t always explain what happened to them or where they are.
There seems to be a lot of interests in these doctors, but they are the staff of a company, and I think they are on the company visa. So I will be delighted if you don’t ask me about where they are because they are not our guests in that sense.
But we have been able to learn some things from them by interacting with them from their experience in their country; we shared ideas about what they did in their country in managing COVID -19.”
