The Federal Government has mandated the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control to ensure the quality of all the medical supplies that were brought into the country from China.


Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, had received coronavirus equipment and consumables worth one point three million dollars from China.


Some medical experts also arrived in the country to provide healthcare assistance and share methods on the containment of COVID-19 with Nigeria.
Dr Ehanire, in a statement, said that the team was not in Nigeria to treat patients but to conduct capacity building based on their experience.
He said all available resources shall be deployed to support the adequate engagement of Nigerian medical experts towards curbing the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria.


There are over two hundred and fifty coronavirus cases in Nigeria with less than ten deaths so far while over forty persons have recovered and discharged.
