The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has admitted
that the country might just be starting to experience COVID-19.
NCDC Director-General, Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, stated this
while speaking at the House of Representatives on Monday, when members of the
Presidential Task Force (PTF) appeared before a joint committee of the House.
“We are still in the middle of a very, very bad outbreak. In
fact, it is most likely that we are at the beginning of a very bad outbreak.
This is the honest truth.
“And as we dig into the details of what we have done, I
really crave your indulgence to please, bear in mind that we do this work
together, because we really have a collective responsibility to our people,”
the NCDC boss said.
Ihekweazu also denied claims that the NCDC had spent
millions on text messages to sensitise Nigerians.
A total of 12,801 confirmed cases have been recorded in the
country so far.
