The Nigeria Union of Journalists has criticized Federal Government’s moves to bring Chinese Doctors Nigeria “to fight Covid 19, despite the fact that Nigerian doctors are doing exceptionally well in fighting the outbreak.”
The NUJ said the move is counter-productive and would likely cause “the Italian example where there was an inexplicable spike in Covid 19 related deaths when the Chinese doctors arrived the country (Italy).
The NUJ in a press statement circulated to newsmen on Saturday said “while some have applauded the way and manner China contained the virus in Wuhan- the only Chinese city to be so affected, we hasten to note that there is more to this charade than is being let out by the Chinese authorities, and we reject a situation where Nigeria will be used as a Guinea pig for any experiment.
“It is pertinent to plead with the Federal Government to stop this Medical team from coming to Nigeria.
“The FG should as a matter of urgent concern investigate the allegation that what is happening today is associated with the launching of the 5G communication network, as Nigerians are becoming more agitated over the issue which cannot be swept under the carpet.
“We urge the FG to be more proactive in dealing with these emerging issues because any mistake made will be catastrophic”, the statement read.
