“Nigeria is very grateful; we shall make the best use of the items and integrating them to whatever that we have to improve service delivery,” he said.

Ehanire told his visitors and donors that his team was trying to reduce the rate of infection and improve service delivery in order “to keep our fatality rate lower than what we have in other countries”.

According to him, Nigeria has 2.2 per cent fatality rate of COVID-19 while other countries have four and five per cent.

“We hope that we can keep these fatalities lower with adequate messaging and appropriate information dissemination; and of course, the technical aspect of carrying out testing, isolation, treatment, etc; all of these data-driven and getting the entire system working smoother,” he said.
