A situation report released by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has shown that only one tested sample was carried out in Kogi State.
According to the report, there are 35,983 samples tested in 36 states and the federal capital territory (FCT) so far.
Of all the tests carried out in the nation, Kogi and Cross River states have the lowest figures of samples tested.
While Kogi has only tested one sample, Cross River has tested seven samples, all of which returned negative for COVID-19.
This revelation was released in the May 18 situation report by the NCDC on Tuesday.
The NCDC data also revealed that Lagos has tested the highest number of persons with 14,886 samples tested, followed by the FCT and Kano with 4,688 and 2,653 samples tested, respectively.
Recall that NCDC had visited Kogi in the first week of May, but the state claimed the agency’s officials “fled” the state when they were asked to undergo tests for COVID-19.
