Africa Press-Nigeria:
The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has commended Nigeria’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Guterres, who spoke at a virtual news briefing in New York, the United States on Thursday, singled out Nigeria as one of the developing countries that have “shown a remarkable capacity to respond to the disease.”
“I have to say this; some of these developing countries have shown a remarkable capacity to respond.
“I was quite impressed to see, for instance, Nigeria putting in place and immediately establishing a hospital.
“And I saw difficulties in countries that are much more developed to do quickly the same.”
The Nigerian government had put in place several measures to tackle the coronavirus since February 7 when the country recorded its first case of the virus.
