Coronavirus in Nigeria: Price of disposable face mask skyrocket - Ifu Ennada

Former BBNaija reality TV star, Ifu Ennada has revealed that the price of disposable face mask has skyrocketed after Nigeria confirmed its first case of COVID-19 also known as coronavirus.

Coronavirus was confirmed in Nigeria after an Italian man who came into the country days ago fell ill. He has since been quarantined in Lagos.

Taking to social media, Ifu Ennada revealed that disposable face mask that formerly sold for N750 now sells for N15,000 just hours after the virus was confirmed in the country.

She wrote: "Disposable face mask now 15,000 naira! No longer 750naira or 10,000 naira which was the latest price in Lekki this morning like I reported some mins ago. This video was sent to me by one of my sisters who's on the mainland. ______ Nigerians, we are our own problem. I hope these Pharmacies ripping people off their money also educate them on how to use and also inform them that only those who already have the Virus need to wear these face masks".
