I have made a few enquiries about the latest efforts we are making on tackling #COVID19Nigeria. A number of Nigerian citizens are doing their best to #TakeResponsibility. I have taken the extra step of checking their claims with @NCDCgov. Here’s what I learned. Thread...
First of all, let us not forget that the World Health Organisation commended Nigeria’s efforts in handling the crisis. The index case was identified within 48 hours, was isolated with those he cane into contact with, and has been treated and discharged. m.guardian.ng/news/coronavir…
All states have been asked to earmark isolation Centres and to publish emergency contact numbers. Some of the numbers published are not easy or possible to reach. Some citizens are calling all the numbers and reporting the ones that are not working. The Minister says try 112. 
State government are identifying additional test Centres, some of them private, and Centres that have the capacity to test for tuberculosis are being reconfigured to be able to test for #COVID19. Personal protective equipment is currently being distributed nationwide.
None of these suggest that everything is perfect. We are facing a very virulent virus that spreads exponentially. However, our public health workers nationwide are trying their best to contain it. They need our support. Try and do your bit. #TakeResponsibility. We’ll beat this.✌🏽
