Akande’s tweet comes after it emerged that the Chief of Staff to Nigerian Ruler, Abba Kyari, has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Kyari is believed to have been infected during his recent trip to Germany where he met with officials of Siemens in Munich on Nigeria’s electricity expansion programme.

The Chief of Staff was said to have returned on March 14 and, apparently, did not show any symptoms of being infected with the virus at the time.
