Minister of State for Health, Senator Adeleke Olorunnimbe Mamora, has given further insight into the Federal Government’s plan to place on a red-list, countries that have placed Nigeria on a red-list in the wake of outbreak of a new Omicron variant of the COVID-19.
Mamora, who was a guest on Channels TV’s News @ 10, said contrary to claims that the said plan on the basis of reciprocal gesture, the move was only expected to be in the best interest of the country.
