The Chinese Doctors that was brought to fight COVID 19 set to return to their Country they are the source confirmed to the OBSERVERS TIMES that the Chinese experts are to travel from Abuja to Lagos on Airpeace flight before connecting from Lagos to China later tonight.
OBSERVERS TIMES earlier reported that minister of health, Osagie Ehanire,, requested reporters not to bother his ministry over the whereabouts of Chinese medical experts who came into Nigeria to support the fight against COVID-19.
Mr Ehanire, while responding to questions at the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing on Thursday, said the medical personnel “are not guests of the federal government but CCECC, a construction company”.
The 15-member team of Chinese medical personnel arrived in the country on April 8 “to share their experiences in fighting the COVID-19”.
Some Nigerians had kicked against the federal government’s decision to invite the medical experts, saying the country had enough doctors to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) also described the move as “a thing of embarrassment to the membership of the Association and other health workers who are giving their best in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic under deplorable working conditions.”
