In the plight of the ongoing lockdown and measures as a consequence of Covid-19 outbreak, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS Zone B) warns the federal government against welcoming "Chinese Doctors" into Nigeria.
The world at large is fighting a pandemic that has affected many top countries, and most of these countries are earnestly striving with her local team of doctors and associated health workers, in the bid to protect lives.
This is a time for the Nigerian Government to work together with the team of medical professionals, health and community workers across the country, in providing lasting measures to this outbreak.
Thus, we wish to state categorically that if the federal government goes ahead to welcome foreigners from China, the Nigerian students will not hesitate to parade along the streets of our country in negation of such action by the Government.
Nigeria is our home, therefore, there is need to develop our own. Let's train our own. Let's build on what we have; this will promote independence, rather than dependence on external reach. Several hospitals in various states are not well equipped, many local governments in Nigeria cannot boast of a functional health facility which makes accessibility of proper medical services difficult for the masses.
On that note, we say NO to foreigners at this time of a global outbreak of COVID-19 that has presented a lot of interpretations.
Let's arise and do the needful, says NANS Zone B!!!
