Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama has recovered from Corona virus.
The minister announced his recovery via his verified Twitter handle stating “By the very special grace of God, my latest COVID-19 test result came back negative after three weeks isolation.
“I am eternally grateful to my family, the C-in-C and VP, the medical team, relations, friends, colleagues, religious leaders and numerous well-wishers, who through their care, prayers, fasting, messages of support and encouragement never let me walk alone.”
About three weeks ago, he had announced on July 19 that his fourth Covid-19 test returned positive after he felt a slight irritation in his throat.
Onyeama, a member of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and one of those driving the fight against the pandemic, especially regarding the repatriation of stranded citizens abroad, had gone into quarantine immediately.
A recent video clip showed Onyeama resuming work at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Abuja amidst cheers from staff, welcoming him back to his duty post.
