Coronavirus: Atiku declares readiness to work with Buhari govt to protect Nigerians
However, the former Vice President urged government to err on the side of caution by ensuring adequate protection of Nigerians from further contracting the disease.
“This is a patriotic call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to take every reasonable step to protect the citizens of Nigeria, by temporarily suspending flights to and from such countries, until we build up our ability to contain the coronavirus.“Despite the commendable efforts of our patriotic health officials, it will be recalled that to date, we are yet to identify or locate multiple passengers who flew in with the index case from Italy. They could be anywhere.
“The economic impact of a widespread infestation of the virus in Nigeria will be catastrophic and will affect our national security, and status as Africa’s leading economy.
