Kindly disregard the post being circulated on WhatsApp and other social media platforms, about federal government of Nigeria 'spreading' chemicals from the skies at midnight, using a private jet, as a way of fighting coronavirus.

The post is completely false and not from the Hon. Minister of Health as being circulated, and should be ignored.

Federal and state governments in Nigeria are doing everything possible to contain the virus through conventional, professional and safe methods, just as the ministry of health and presidency have been updating Nigerians regularly through official channels.
