The Federal Government on Tuesday said it is ready to tackle any potential outbreak of Coronavirus.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Farouq, said this during her visit to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.
The minister was at the airport to inspect the arrangement and facilities put in place for the early detection of Coronavirus among in-coming passengers at the airport.
She was accompanied on the visit by the Ministers of Aviation Hadi Sirika; Minister of State for Health Olorunnimbe Mamora; and Minister of Information Lai Mohammed among other top government officials.
The World Health Organisation had placed Nigeria as a high-risk country to experience an outbreak of Coronavirus.
This is because Nigeria has strong trade links with China and about 40,000 to 50,000 Chinese work in Nigeria.
