The House of Representatives has picked holes in the explanations by the Federal Government on the status of the 15 Chinese doctors and health workers who came into Nigeria on April 8, 2020, with the
claim of coming to assist the government in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Moving the motion, Bagos recalled how the Federal Government, on April 3, 2020, announced that a team of medical personnel comprising doctors, nurses and other medical advisers would arrive in the country along with a plane-load of additional personal protective equipment. Bagos said, “The House is concerned that before the coming of the Chinese medical team, COVID-19 data stood at 254 confirmed cases, with 44 successfully treated by the Nigerian medical personnel, with only six deaths who reportedly had other underlining ailments. Today, the data stands at about 5,959 cases, with 182 deaths. Yet, the nation has heard nothing as to the contribution of the supposedly Chinese medical team and their supposed medical expertise.
Bagos said the House was now concerned that contrary to these statements, Ehanire on May 14, 2020, “in a new twist” reportedly told reporters not to bother his ministry over the whereabouts of the Chinese medical experts.
