• 21 states have fewer than 100 beds each, says PTFOur Reporters The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has said the Federal Ministry of Health has shortlisted for further investigations, three Nige

rian drugs, which have the potential to cure COVID-19 or treat its symptoms.

“Similarly, efforts are being made by the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology to subject some locally manufactured COVID-19 equipment to verification and subsequent certification.” On Tuesday, NAFDAC Director General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, said the agency would go ahead with the trial on the grounds that it had been effective in the treatment of COVID- 19 patients, especially those at the mild stage of the virus.But Boss Mustapha urged NAFDAC to subject all claims to scientific investigations.

“This precautionary measure by the WHO underscores the importance of not only seeking expert medical advice but also ensuring that all claims to treatment by scientists and researchers, whether conventional or traditional, should be subjected to scientific certification protocols by NAFDAC and other relevant institutions so as to guarantee the efficacy of the discovery.”

Responding to a question, the SGF said on March 11, the Minister of Agriculture presented a memo of N13.9 bn to the Federal Executive Council for monitoring and surveillance, and control of trans-boundary movement of animals pests and diseases, and rehabilitation of major abattoirs. The minister said, “Now, there is going to be a change in that protocol and that is going to affect the timing of any further evacuation that we are going to undertake.

According to him, the samples of the returnees would be taken on arrival in the country and their passports confiscated, adding that they would go on self-isolation in their homes. He said anyone who tested negative would still be required to spend more days to complete the 14-day isolation period after which they could collect their passports.

The health minister said the Nigerian medical researchers working with foreign partners had been able to ascertain that the strain of COVID-19 in Nigeria was the same in Wuhan, China, where the virus first broke out.Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, said that the Federal Ministry of Education would not risk reopening schools across the country, until all preventive measures had been put in place.

Why the initial gragra in the first place?

Please, see this interesting video on social work profession Please, watch this interesting video about Social work

So......na to dey freestyle una wan dey do

If they can't cope what do they want to do about it?

Is Mamowora mad..

Still u want to open up churches and schools abi

Is this not the man that was inviting Chinese, Italians etc to come to Nigeria in March that Nigeria is well prepared for the situation? Pity to the system!

Whatever comes to Nigeria will be manipulated by witchcraft! Is Nigeria now epicenter for covid-19? Reopen schools n churches that is what we want n keep the bullshit to NCDC

Even when the figure announced and the reality on ground are at war to make sense to Nigerians. Look at cases in Kano about 700 or 800 but isolation centre no dey(still under construction). Can you see any sense in the announced and the reality? What relationship has the two?👉😏

Can these ministers from henceforth be referred to as chief Counsels/deputy chief Counsels that way they'd know we, and the world depend on their words. Placing a premium on spoken phrases have never been more important than it is now. In February, 🇳🇬 was ready for Covid_19

Is there coronavirus ?

u see him dey wear any PPE?

They won't be able to cope since they've shared all the money donated locally and international. Now they've suspended the airlift of Nigerians from abroad, there is nothing they are ever able to do successfully.

Is there anything the federal Government Can cope with?What is the benefit of being a Nigerian Bunch of looters called Government

The same people who said they were ready for the pandemic? I guess they are done embezzling funds.

We are in a Country were were we pray for the disappearing of the covid-19 were in response to the prayers the LORD heals all the affected person but the Govt still reports 23 discharged 304 New cases 10,453 active case 4 1/2 death 💚💬💚

Wetin go con happen?

After you must have looted all the money NCDC,you must cope with it .

Lol

This is about the most idiotic govt Nigeria's ever had. They refused to lockdown when they ought to, & when they finally did, it was virtual public holidays. The country will be in the throes of COVID19, long after other serious countries have recovered.

They said resign then and let competent people take over governance.

I really don't understand this NigeriaGov. You can't cope, then do the needful. Flatten the curve. Come up with measures to tackle this menace.

But they can't account for the Billions donated for COVID19 fight .....

What's the relationship between the headline and what the minister said?

Just listening to falzthebahdguy Hypocrite

According to the DG of NCDC, If the viability period of the virus is about 10 days, maximum then why do we have about 5,000 active cases since March to date?

The issue of SelfIsolation at home is the major reason why we are at the high point of the coronavirus in the country, and PTF is still encouraging it, haba.

What else is new?

The people you force into agreeing to being COVID-19 positive (when they're not), all they do is eat, play and then go back home; what's overwhelming about that? I guess you just like plagiarising tag lines from the UK and the US, you must think it makes you sound intelligent.

Make una try reduce am small sir, since they can't cope

In other words, you are on your own

But you can cope with schools feeding?

Una never get sense!!. That's why is getting increase every day

they need another fund be that

Interesting

Yes they can't after stealing all monies both borrowed, and from home

That 1 na him problem. When they are busy borrowing money and buying new computers for customs with enormous ministerial lavishing of our country's money.

What's the relationship with it headline and what the minister said?

But you guys had enough warning! What kind of rat ship are you running? S.A is doing 12k testing per day and you are still stuck at 1k. Every avoidable death is on your heads.

We know

Are we jokers in this country

The point is, Nigerians doubt this increase, why?

This is what your clueless government should have said since and allow us to go about our lives.

My government how market? Oh Una don tire abi? Una don loot all d covid19 loans finish and no more loans and donations coming again abi upon all d covid19 cases figures wey una manufacture. Seriously these people no get one bit of shame and conscience I swear

What changed?

You are one of those that claimed that we cant close our Airsoace in February. You guys waited until whole world closed their Airspace. Now Covid-19 is everywhere and sadly 96% of Nigerians don't even believes it is here .Only about 1% put on face mask ,& others see it as scam

Take or leave it, Corona is here to stay🤷‍♂️ Unless we just want to live the rest of our lives indoors which is not safe either 🤔

You people should keep quiet jare😌 Go and have the discussion with Buhari, NCDC boss & all state governors, then come up with a solution.

But Lagos is reopening gradually with increasing numbers.

But you can cope with looting the covid 19 funds

How many confirmed cases have been recorded in Nigeria. Is it up to 10,000? And government is saying they can't cope with the rising numbers of covid. Did same government not boast some months back they were fully ready for covid19. Sometimes, I just want to stay off this app!😒

Every man with his name ni bayi😖

And government is planning to re-open religious organisations & re-start Schools ? Inept government putting her people in more danger. Open only things of direct impact on the economy, I repeat direct impact on the economy!!

And they want to open schools, churches and mosques. They must cope Ooo

It ofcourse time to discuss reality, up quality leaders

So you want to bind us now to the philistine and say to us TO YOUR TENTS O ISRAEL?, I knew it will come to this all man to himself, yet we have a govt.

They keeps manipulating the figures, we are not dumb and we know this is all about loot

So who do we turn to? Well, Nigerians have lived like this way for a long time! Not surprised! Learn to protect yourself!

They should all resign & let people that r more competent to take over,we hv had enough of ther antics & ther unproductive manner of handling important national issues,only ther gullible followers r hanging on to ther shredded sinking straws,enough of incompetence

Who then will be able to cope?

Dem wan go take another loan be dat oooo

What is happening to Madagascar Hans

Bunch of liars. They can't cope with their lies, nd may d cries of d masses follow these liars to their graves.

😳😳

The NCDC should stop inflating the figures then

Now they know
