Commenting on Nigeria’s testing capacity, the President of the NANNM, AbdulRauf Adeniji, in an interview with The PUNCH, said COVID-19 had brought to the fore problems in the country’s health sector.
He stated, “The truth is that we are not well-equipped for the virus.
“Before COVID-19 came to Nigeria, the minister (of health) said we were equipped, but it is clear that our infrastructure cannot handle the testing capacity.
“People can have the virus and will not know it and still mingle with health officials and even their families thereby spreading it. We are playing with the tail of a rattlesnake in this country.

“What I am saying is that the number of people, who have coronavirus in Nigeria, is more than the number recorded by the government.
“The PTF (the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19) should be able to advise the government properly on what should be done.
“The case definition is a problem. People may have it without all the conditions (high temperature, coughing and sneezing) stated.
“Despite lockdown, we still see people walking around.
