Nigerians knock health minister for saying CCECC brought ‘Chinese doctors’ into country

May 15, 2020

Nigerians have attacked the minister of health, Osagie Ehanire, for saying the Federal Government had no knowledge of the whereabouts of 15 members of a Chinese medical team and that the team was brought into the country on the request of a construction company with Chinese origin, CCECC.

Ehanire told reporters at the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing on Thursday that the team arrived in the country on April 8 “to share their experiences in fighting the COVID-19” but that they were not “guests of the Federal Government but CCECC”.

Several groups, including the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), had kicked against the move to bring the medical personnel into the country.

The latest revelation from the minister drew more criticism from the public on social media.

I concur. How can u say CCECC brought them when everything was already under lockdown. Nigerians were told they came to help the country. They paraded them like gifts frm China & told us good stuff about them. So it's wrong to defend them on this. CCECC don't own Nigeria, we do.

So staff of ccecc were snuck into Nigeria after the lockdown disguised as Chinese doctors coming to fight COVID.

The same ccecc that was banned by world bank recently for fraud.

Supposed Chinese doctors imported in Nigeria a month ago.

They are no where near any health centre or in talk on any health related topic.

Health minister says they are CCECC workers.

Illegal Chinese miners arrested in Osun and Zamfara last week.

The Minister of Health Dr Osagie Ehanire is never aware of anything. He is always in the dark about vital information his ministry should be in charge of. This whole 15 Chinese Doctors issue is a cover up from CCECC and this is clear as day light, but Ehanire never knows. pic.twitter.com/5CVLmZnYyj

CCECC paid for flights. Nigerian government wants everything free. That's why they are borrowing money they can't pay back from chinko. https://t.co/NM5UJhKwkm

He said; “On the Chinese Doctors, I want to, first of all, explain that I think not all of them were doctors and I think that I heard that some of them are Technicians but they are staff of CCECC"

Can you listen to yourself??? Was it not the FG that welcomed them and their luggage??? They are coming to CCECC to do what when the country's border is under lockdown??? Is the government too daft to allow them in when it's obvious we don't need them????
