An Indian contractor, Jaynath Kunar, with symptoms of Covid19, has been identified at the Dangote Refinery, Lagos.

The Indian, who is a staff of one of Dangote’s contractors, was coughing and running a high temperature.

Doctors were immediately called in and the Indian was rushed to a hospital for testing and diagnosis.

A spokesman for Dangote firm, Tony Chiejina, confirmed the incident but maintained that the Indian was not an employee of Dangote.

He said the person was spotted during one of the routine medical checks at the refinery, adding that the case had not yet been confirmed.

Chiejina told The PUNCH that the Dangote group remained a strong partner in the fight against Covid19, adding that the firm had even donated N200m to the fight against the epidemic.

He said a statement would be issued soon and called on all Nigerians to remain calm.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control said on Twitter that it was already investigating the matter.
