A Twitter user, @DavidAAgboola1 has asked the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control to update their frequently asked questions page.
This is coming based on the misleading information contained on their site, saying only one confirmed case exists in Nigeria.
David Agboola screengrabbed the portion and asked for more clarifications.
"@NCDCgov.. Please can you help us update your FAQ section on your page, the information there can be very misleading...We now have more than one confirmed case of COVID-19," his tweet read.
