The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has noted that Nigeria might just be starting to experience coronavirus pandemic disease.

Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, the NCDC Director-General, said this while speaking at the House of Representatives on Monday, 8th June, 2020, when some members of the Presidential Task Force on coronavirus appeared before a joint committee of the House.

Dr. Ihekweazu said;

“We are still in the middle of a very, very bad outbreak. In fact, it is most likely that we are at the beginning of a very bad outbreak. This is the honest truth.

"And as we dig into the details of what we have done, I really crave your indulgence to please, bear in mind that we do this work together, because we really have a collective responsibility to our people,"
