As the arrival of 15 Chinese medical experts to Nigeria continues to stir controversies, the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, said the medical team came into the country to help in building and equipping isolation centres.
This statement is contrary to that made by the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, where he said that the Chinese health workers, were not guests of the Federal Government, but staff of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC).
He said the Chinese team came to Nigeria on a 30-day visa issued in Beijing and were still in Nigeria because of the restriction on travel occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
