In Nigeria toady, Cross River and Kogi State have remained untouched by the deadly Coronavirus pandemic while Anambra has tactically regained her freedom from the virus through the recuperation of the index cases in the state.
Nigeria is a populous country of over 200million people and the largest in Africa. With the result obtained from few tested samples amidst no vaccins and low testing laboratory capacity, it could be asserted that there could be an outburst of the pandemic upon testing a population of 50 million out of the overall population.
It is worrisome. The attitude of Nigerians towards the pandemic, the doubt in the existence of the Virus in Nigeria, the noncompliance to stated guideline by health authorities and the Government, the desire to keep up with the already set new year targets of 2020 by many Nigerians and more are the predisposing factors that could endanger the Nigerian population and extend the pandemic beyond 2020.
