Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Oyo, Rivers, Kano, Plateau and FCT are cases for concerns as the third wave of COVID-19 pandemic rages in Nigeria, the Presidential
This is as the country records 32 cases of the Delta variant of the deadly disease even as four million doses the Moderna vaccine were officially donated by the United States to Nigeria.
Speaking at the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 briefing yesterday, the secretary to the government of the federation and chairman of the PSC, Boss Mustapha, said all countries in the West African region are beginning to see the third wave while Nigeria has been recording about 500 cases daily in the last seven days.
He said, “It is no more news that the Delta variant has made its way into Nigeria. The PSC is particularly concerned about the situation in Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Oyo, Rivers, Kano, Plateau and FCT as this variant has made its way into these states and accounts for the rising cases in these states and across the nation.“Lagos alone accounts for over 50 per cent of the number of cases. This development calls for great caution because the virus is very virulent and raging in so many other countries.
The SGF said the PSC would publish the names of the over 500 travellers who violated the travel protocol and evaded quarantine.
