UN Secretary-General commends Nigeria’s response to coronavirus

Nigeria's effort to combat the deadly coronavirus has received international recognition and compensation from the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Antonio Guterres.

He made the recommendation during a press briefing in New York, on Thursday.

Mr Guterres hailed Nigeria and other developing countries that have “shown a remarkable capacity to respond to the coronavirus,” says he was quite impressed.

According to him: “I have to say this; some of these developing countries have shown a remarkable capacity to respond.

I was quite impressed to see, for instance, Nigeria putting in place and immediately establishing a hospital. And I saw difficulties in countries that are much more developed to do quickly the same.”
