“There are some countries that have pulled out because of Covid-19 in their country but we still have to thank God because of Nigeria.

“Some countries have arrived, ever before we knew Central Africa will not be coming Tunisia will not be coming we’re still expecting the other two that will be coming. So there are certain things we have to look at because of the Covid-19 issues.”
