The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has responded to a claim that it neglected the late Suleiman Achimugu who became the first person to die from the deadly covid-19 in Nigeria.
“NCDC officials came to the house and took his blood specimen. Even though it tested positive, they never got back to us until he died at a hospital in Gwagwalada. We are all currently under quarantine in the house,” Sahara Reporters quoted a family source as saying.
Meanwhile, the NCDC has now revealed that it doesn’t cater to individual cases. According to them, it is the responsibility of the states and medical centres to take care of their coronavirus cases.
“Kindly note that NCDC will not be commenting on the management of individual cases. The management of cases is the responsibility of States and treatment centres and they are doing their best under difficult circumstances”
