The Federal Government has said it does not know the whereabouts of the
Chinese doctors and technicians 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.
Ehanire 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 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 very happy if you don’t ask me about where they are because they
are not really 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.”
