So far, 25 states out of 37 states in Nigeria including the FCT are now been affected with the coronavirus pandemic. Lagos remains the epicenter with a total of 376 cases followed by the FCT 89 cases.
With the fatality rising to 22 as of today it is inhumane to still believe that COVID-19 is not real or a scam. Stay at home and stay safe.
