President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday met with the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire and the Director General of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, Chikwe Ikekweazu.

The photographs of the meeting, just uploaded online by the State House, showed Buhari and the other officials observing social distancing during the meeting.

Findings indicated that the two officers, who are at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus pandemic came to the Villa to give Buhari updates.

Nigeria now has 81 confirmed cases with three discharged and one death.

The meeting came amid speculation that the President had been flown out of the country for COVID-19 treatment.

He had earlier on Monday tested negative to the virus but Buhari was yet to address the nation since it recorded its first confirmed case in Lagos State.
