Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has recovered from coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Mr Onyeama announced in a Twitter post on Wednesday that he had recovered from the deadly disease after three weeks isolation.
“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,” he wrote.
Onyeama, a member of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, had announced on July 19 that his fourth COVID-19 test returned positive after he felt a slight irritation in his throat.
The minister got a warm welcome from staff of the ministry on resuming duty on Wednesday.
