"I am telling the Federal government, any Nigerian that dies here, bury him because all of them are coming home with TB and HIV and our people do not have the capacity to deal with it"she saidAlso speaking, the Secretary-General of the Nigerian Medical Forum in South Africa, Dr. Emeka Ugwu, said
“I am in the know that in South Africa one of the leading causes of death is tuberculosis and HIV/Aids. So it will not be far-fetched to deduce from this that some Nigerians who are dying here may also have that statistics. Care needs to be taken from the health perspective, any dead body or any of such things could have serious health implication on the community and it could be transferred from one person to the other. If a dead body moves from here to Nigeria, it needs to be properly handled according to stipulated World Health Organisation objectives.”he said.
