The Senate on Thursday faulted the measures put in place at the nation’s ports by the Federal Ministry of Health aimed at preventing the spread of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease into the country.
He said that while passengers are properly screened inside the aircraft before being allowed to set their feet on the South Africa soil, the reverse is the case in Nigeria. He said those visiting Nigeria from China where the disease is in the increase should be quarantined for between two to four weeks, rather than being asked to self isolate.
“We are a prayerful nation but when we pray we should work the prayers. We are not hoping but we must be prepared.“We must take all the necessary measures at our ports – airports, sea ports. People who are coming back to Nigeria especially from areas that have been identified to have this in fact should be screened.
Senator Borofice in his lead debate, lamented that there was no screening for international passengers coming into the country.
After the money already released . Hope this is not a plan to add more money.
