Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation of Nigeria has disclosed that he is afraid of the novel coronavirus.
According to Amaechi, he moves along with his mask and sanitizer everywhere he goes because he has seen people die of the deadly disease.
During a briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, he made this disclosure.
He said:
“I carry mask and sanitiser everywhere I go and the reason is that I have seen people die of COVID. So, I’m dead scared. If you ask the national coordinator of PTF, I refused that we should open the railway. It is the pressure of those who want to participate in the forthcoming spiritual activities (Sallah) that made me accept that the railways from Abuja to Kaduna resume,”
