44 days after 15 Chinese doctors purportedly arrived in Nigeria to help in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak in the country, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) has said the doctors’ mission in Nigeria is not to treat coronavirus cases.

The company in a statement on Friday, May 22, 2020, said the medical experts since their arrival in Nigeria have not treated any coronavirus patients because their mandate in the country does not cover that.

The CCECC further said the medical team has assisted in setting up isolation centres and has provided support to the company’s staff on how to prevent the virus.

The company, however, added that the doctors are willing to share their experiences on fighting the pandemic with Nigerian health officials.

The statement reads in part, “After a 14-day quarantine and necessary tests, the medical team has been carrying out its assigned mission.

“The medical personnel are in Nigeria at the instance of CCECC Nigeria and they have been at all times under the care and accommodation of CCECC

“During their stay in Nigeria, they have complied with all known immigration and health protocols.

“It is important to reiterate that the mandate of the team, as mutually agreed with all stakeholders, does not cover treatment of COVID-19 cases. The team is therefore not treating any COVID-19 cases. In dealing with both the CCECC and the Nigerian health officials, the team only play an advisory role.

“They would continue to engage with CCECC management and staff will always be willing to engage with Nigerian health officials and other stakeholders whenever and wherever it is necessary to do so.”

Meanwhile, the whereabouts of the doctors recently caused a controversy in the country as the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire told journalists not to ask him about the medical team.

Thought the Nigeria's minister of health said they're Chinese doctors came on behalf of CCECC? Immediately the government officials started giving conflicting info about these alleged medics, it's glaring they've hatched a plot with the Chinese.

They arrived Nigeria under COVID19 restrictions but they cant go back because of the same restrictions & their whereabout later become unknown.While their home govt was treating Nigerians as trash.This is the shame, embarrassment and denigration the APC regime have continue to subject Nigeria to.

First the govt told us that they were expecting some Chinese doctor who will come and assist the NCDC field operations with the COVID experience , then we are later shown images of them being welcomed by our govt at the airport and then we are told the are being quarantined for two weeks then we are told by the same govt that they don't know where the doctors are ,then the Govt says they are not Doctors but technicians invited by CCECC, then now the CCECC is telling us they didn't come to treat Corona ..... My question is why did the Buhari govt lie to Nigerians from the onset ? Why? Why can't this govt be honest just for once .

Using one lie to cover another lie.

The deceit and manipulation going on in this Buhari APC regime is legendary. The more they try to cover these Chinkos true mission in Nigeria at d peak of d pandemic the more it becomes clear n glaring to every discerning mind that there is more to it than meets d eyes

This is the unique trademark of liars.They lie so stupidly, shamelessly and irresponsibly that they dont know when they tell many lies to cover a lie.

This ugly trend about the Chinese-CCECC "medics" has simply continued to "exposed the Nigerian Government’s insincerity in the fight against the pandemic & the cracks within its ranks where officials are already giving different explanation to a single event."

Hmn.....
