Tonye Cole, former executive director of Sahara Group, is
undergoing self-isolation after returning from London on flight with Nigeria’s
third coronavirus patient.
On Tuesday, Nigeria confirmed its third case involving a
30-year-old female who returned from UK on March 13 after a 10-day stay.
The lady arrived on BA 75 flight, leading to an announcement
by the Lagos state government that other passengers on the flight should
self-isolate.
In a tweet on Wednesday, Cole said he is acting in line with
the government’s instruction on self-isolation.
He commended the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)
for putting measures in place to document information of passengers entering
into the country.
“#workfromhome I was on the BA75 flight of the 13th from
London on which a lady tested positive for #COVID19Lagos. We’ve been asked by
LSMOH to #selfisolate. I’m grateful to
@NCDCgov for measures taken at airports to document all
passengers coming into NIGERIA so we’re all safer,” he tweeted.
