The Federal Government has disclosed that it doesn’t know the whereabouts of the Chinese medical team that came into Nigeria to provide assistance to the country in a bid to fight against the Coronavirus on government’s invitation.
The shocking revelation was disclosed yesterday by the Honourable Health Minister, Osagie Ehanire at the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on the containment of the Covid -19 in Abuja and the revelation came one month after the Chinese madical team controversially arrived the country.
The Minister made the disclosure when asked about the whereabouts of the Chinese medical team during the briefing and he 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.”
