China has announced its readiness to assist Nigeria to fight the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) to a standstill with funds and medical supplies.
The Chinese Consulate General in Lagos stated yesterday that it would make donations in cash and/or medical equipment to the Nigerian government to help curb the pandemic.
The Consul-General, Chu Maoming, stressed that “working together, Nigeria and China will be able to write a new chapter in the history of how we have fearlessly battled to defend humanity and won.”
He, however, urged the Federal Government to take effective measures in safeguarding the health, safety and legitimate rights of Chinese nationals on its soil, stressing that the consulate was always willing to assist the Nigerian government and people.
