The global pandemic of Coronavirus has killed another Nigerian.

This is second death from coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country.

The death was confirmed on Monday by the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, during the Presidential Task Force Briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Ehanire confirmed also that Nigeria has 111 confirmed cases of COVID-19, adding that a majority of them were persons who came in from overseas.

According to the health minister, the highest number of confirmed cases are in Lagos and Abuja because they serve as the major gateways to the country.

Ehanire warned Nigerians to protect the elderly among them, as well as those having underlying health issues as they were the most vulnerable.

He also informed the gathering that all retired but able-bodied staff of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the Federal Ministry of Health were being recalled.

In his remarks, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, said President Muhammadu Buhari has constituted a committee headed by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to care for the economic challenges that the situation may bring for the time being.

He also allayed the fear of Nigerians, saying workers in the financial institutions were not included in the stay-at-home order declared by the President in his Sunday broadcast to the nation.

He further said that the briefing would be a daily event to minimise the incidence of fake news in the country.
