Chinese flight: Airline crew members not being quarantined in UNILAG – Management

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) management has denied a report that the crew of the airline that flew in Chinese medical personnel and supplies recently were quarantined in its Scholars Lodge.
A statement by Mrs. Taiwo Oloyede, Principal Assistant Registrar, Communication Unit, Corporate Affairs Directorate, Office of the Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos, said that the information is false and called on members of the University community and the general public to beware of fake news and keep observing precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The statement reads in full:
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Management wishes to inform members of the University community and the general public that contrary to the publication entitled, “Chinese doctors’ flight: How three airline crew members ‘disappeared’ from Lagos quarantine centre” by The Punch, dated Sunday, April 12, 2020, the airline crew members that conveyed the Chinese doctors visiting the country to lend medical aid, are not being quarantined in the University of Lagos campus.
According to the report by The Punch, “On arriving the Scholars Lodge at the University of Lagos where the state government had prepared for the crew to be quarantine around 2am, another debate ensued over the type of the apartment provided.” This information is FALSE. The flight crew members were not brought to the University’s Scholars Hostel.
In light of the above, members of the University community and the general public are enjoined to beware of fake news and keep observing precautionary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Management wishes the country and the world at large quick recovery from this pandemic and a timely return to normalcy.
