Covid 19: NUJ Pleads With FG To Stop Chinese Medical Mission Coming To Nigeria

Chris Isiguzo , National President, NUJ

ABUJA The Nigeria Union of Journalists  National Secretariat is alarmed by the decision of the Federal Government to bring  Chinese Medical doctors to Nigeria to fight Covid 19, despite the fact that Nigerian doctors are doing exceptionally well in fighting the outbreak. We caution that it  will be counterproductive to bring in Chinese doctors.

According to a press release e-signed and made available to the media by both Chris Isiguzo , National President and Shuaibu Usman Leman, National Secretary, respectively, the release stated that, “While some  have applauded the way and manner China contained the virus in Wuhan- the only Chinese city to be so affected, we hasten to note that there is more to this charade than is being let out by the Chinese authorities, and we  reject a situation where Nigeria will be used as a Guinea pig for any experiment.

“It is pertinent to plead with the Federal Government to stop this Medical team from coming to Nigeria because of  the Italian example where there was an inexplicable spike in Covid 19 related deaths when the Chinese doctors arrived the country.

“The FG should as a matter of urgent concern investigate the allegation that what is happening today is associated with the launching of the 5G communication network, as Nigerians are becoming more agitated over the issue which cannot be swept under the carpet.”

The NUJ further said, “We urge the FG to be more proactive in dealing with these emerging issues because any mistake made will be catastrophic.”
