NCDC Apologises Again For Another 7 Cases Erroroniously Reported

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, has apologised for making new errors while confirming new cases of Coronavirus in Nigeria in its previous report.

The NCDC in a series of tweet on its verified official Twitter handle on Sunday, June 7, noted that it erroneously accredited seven new cases to Jigawa State. The agency, however, revealed that it has investigated the cases and discovered they are test results already confirmed in the previously reported cases.

The agency again promised to remain committed in the discharge of its duties.

The tweet reads; “Yesterday, we erroneously reported 7 new cases in Jigawa. Following further review, we can confirm that these were repeat tests for previously confirmed cases.

“We apologise for this error and remain committed to ensuring transparent and accurate reporting of test results.”
