The Federal Government on Tuesday expressed its readiness to tackle any potential outbreak of Coronavirus.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Farouq, said this during her visit to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.

The World Health Organisation had placed Nigeria as a high-risk country to experience an outbreak of Coronavirus. But Farouq said a lot of technological tools and human resources have been deployed by the relevant agencies of government at the Airport as well as the National Center for Decease Control Agency’s laboratory at Gaduwa, Abuja.

“Nigeria has responded to the pandemic challenge by mobilising all relevant government agencies to ensure our people are protected by putting in place measures for prevention of the spread of the virus, early detection and if necessary managing cases detected in the country.

The health minister in his comments said that while there are no reported cases of Coronavirus, the health sector already has an effective coordination architecture to prepare for a potential outbreak.He said the Nigerian public health sector has demonstrated an effective and sustainable coordination system that is filled out on emergencies.

Story

Nigeria federal government? Another way to siphon cash

With that rotundus nurse or what? God forbid!

Who is prepared With this picture right? 😃😃

May God not allow Coronavirus to come to Nigeria because you're just running your mouth.

Are they done with Lassa Fever...corona virus no be catarrh oo

We aren't moved by mere words of mouth from the FG, we want to see actions. The truth is we aren't ready and may God take this plaque far from us. Amen

Na so dem go dey make mouth now, when e apun everybody go vanish....dem go come dey ask for two hundred thousand million dollars for treatment of infected persons.

What is wrong with FG... Lassa fever outbreak in Lagos has not been tackled, poverty is still on the neck of the masses... FG You people are the most joker of the centery. Uncle corona, pls don't mind this people, they are sleep talking

When they haven't tackled the bokoharam they know.

Dear Corpna Virus, please dont mind our FG. They didnt mean it o. We are not and will never be ready for you.

Naija is not ready for any eventuality of corona outbreak , please stay where u re. It's all eye service

They have started again I just pity fellow Nigerians

You are not prepared. The moment you decided not to quarantine incoming passengers from China you have failed already.

Joke of the day

My dear Corona virus, please kindly disregard any statement from the federal government, it's fake news. Please don't mind them. Thank you

In your mind?

Hmmmm..... My hands are clean oooh.

Let’s stop this joke. Please tackle unemployment and other challenges facing the country first and leave Coronavirus out of it. You know sincerely that you can’t tackle any outbreak of this deadly virus. Let’s stop deceiving ourselves and our people please.

Why must this be mentioned every time, pls Leave the Sleeping Dog Be

I don’t like what I hate. How many Federal Government controlled health facilities have up to 18hours daily power supply? Please CoVid-19, don’t visit us. We can’t hold you.

Opportunity for more money going into private pockets?

We haven’t tackled common Lassa fever my FG is telling me we are ready to tackle coronavirus. Abeg comot for dia 😂 yeye

Attention please, Lassa fever is on the rampage! & therural poor etc are in grave danger. You guys up there can always hop on the next available private jet for treatment abroad at the slightest sign of innocuous headache.

Hahahaha. Lies

Attention please! Lassa fever is on the rampage!

No no no pls don’t make such statements. We’ve not dealt with the common it’s the complicated you are bragging you will tackle?

FG should better don't pray for it outbreak..

Oga corona virus,please I am specially begging u on behalf of the poor masses in this country, please tender justice with mercy.... Stay in ur dearly lovely China.... We are not ready for you.....but please wait for lai Mohammad and his cohorts outside the country.... Once....

Coronavirus is formidable even to the best prepared. We are only looking up to God. If Boko haram could kill so fluently with all the government bragging, pray Coronavirus change its mind about coming here.

Yanga dey sleep, trouble go wake am, na palaba e dey fine.

Strategy of money embezzle

The almighty God will not even allow it to enter Nigeria in Jesus name. Or else, it will be the mother of epidemic in this country

I pray we dont get to that point because Lord knows we cant handle it as much as we think we can because; 1. The pathogen is still been studied and infection rate is still not confirmed even though we know its high 2. As optimum as China's quarantine can be, look at the nos.

Lol..... Laugh ooooooo

Remember, lassa fever is still killing people here. It's junior to Covid19.

At least they got gloves

Na so health workers fighting coronavirus dey dress? This people are mad ooo. I pity innocent health workers that they will sacrifice as usual wothout benefit

Oh shut up!

With EFCC?

Do you know that when Ebola came a female doctor was the one constructing a small makeshift quarantine.That doctor lost her life.This government is just making noise. Why don't we start by you guys showing us the quarantine facilities?If you're hoping on Nigeria you're finished.

And you're yet to tackle Lassa fever completely oo.. Dear Coronavirus Abeg we play too much in this country, we don't have what it takes to host you Abeg no near Us.. Thanks

Dear Uncle Coronavirus, with due respect without arrogancy, pride and powerless attribution of capabilities we don't have, I, The President of good people of twitter debunk the news by our Superior Body, we say we are not capable, and Nigerians plead that you remain in China.

Joke of the day

It's not by nose mask abegg

Na lie o ! People wey no fit pack dirty for road na him go tackle coronavirus?

These government thinks this is an issue that they can play with life of citizens. It better you refuse entry to people from China than tell us these prepared cock and bull story

Dear Coronavirus, no one dears to request for your service in Nigeria. Why should we disturb your peace, when the Chinese haven't even gotten enough of you?.

Their is not like Coronavirus disease in Nigeria this is just a away of extracting money from the government

Y are these people boasting any how na ? This thing never enter Nigeria na , corona baby pls ignore them

Tackle Lasa fever, leave Coronavirus to China, they will eradicate it.

That even western world can't tackle? Na wah for these liars o

If the headline reads 'We re not prepared to tackle potential Corona virus outbreak - FG', una go still complain🤥🤥

They are rather prepared to use the virus as a vehicle to embezzle. God let Corona virus never visit Africa.....

Pls do not repeat it again!

Are this people crazy why are they anticipating this virus this country is a joke

Can FG built hospitals in 10 days?

Can these people just shut up and tackle all the problems facing the country at the moment?

Y'all think this is lassa fever right?

How prepared are you?

They are always talking the opposite.

Let it not 'outbreak' first. We have seen how visible security issues are going so far talk less of invisible killer. God help us please so that our government will look elsewhere.

We are praying not to come to Nigeria if it comes, RIP Nigeria.

They say they need seasoned professionals with impeccable records to take over government at all levels. And when these people come and do the work. They are given this type of treatment. You guys should continue with the insults if it makes you feel better...

Then they will tell Nigerians to start praying, Iwo Oloun, how did we end up with these Misleaders

Talk is cheap action is real

God please 🙏 forgive them for they know not what they're saying 🙏🙏 It was a slip of memory Father Lord! 🙏🙏🙏

Coronavirus, Pls Don’t Mind Them; They Are Just Joking🙏🙏

Are you guys normal at all? Anyone traveling into the country from any Asian country should be placed in isolation for 14 days. Don't just come here and be talking trash to deceive Nigerians. We are never ready.

Be humble fa
