Muhammad Babandede, comptroller-general of the Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS), says being infected with the coronavirus has humbled
him.
Babandede released a video on Wednesday night to share an
update on his health status.
“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, I will like to thank
all my friends, loved ones, officers and men, Muslims and Christians in Nigeria
and abroad for the enormous prayers for my quick recovery,” he said in the
video shared on the NIS Twitter handle.
“I am very grateful for your prayers. In reality, your
prayers are helping me recover very quickly.
“Allah knows better but I thank Allah for giving me the
opportunity to be sick because it gives me the opportunity to humble myself, to
also know that I am loved by such a large number of people.
“Today, the 1st of April, I am sending this short video to
you to tell you I’m doing well and recovering gradually.”
Babandede disclosed on Sunday that he had tested positive
for the disease.
Advising Nigerians to take precautions, he said: “Wash your
hands and maintain social distance. This disease is real.
“Continue to pray that Nigeria does not head towards any
disaster. The numbers are still small but continue to pray that it does not
grow.”
Nigeria recorded 35 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, the
highest tally since the first case was recorded in the country.
