The House of Representatives on Tuesday questioned the Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire over the activities and whereabouts of the Chinese doctors.
The lawmakers frown at the statement of the Minister that the Chinese Doctors are not guests of the Federal Ministry of Health but that of a Chinese firm in Abuja.
This followed a motion of urgent public importance raised by Representative Dachung Bagos.
The House, in a separate motion, also resolved to investigate the status of medical and pharmaceutical research in the fight against COVID-19 in Nigeria.
They expressed worry that Nigerian scientists and researchers have not been given the necessary support and funding for medical research.
Recall the Minister of Health last week Thursday told newsmen not to question him over the whereabouts of Chinese medical experts who came into Nigeria to support the fight against COVID-19.
Specifically, Ehanire while responding to questions at the daily Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing said the medical personnel “are not guests of the Federal Government but CCECC, a construction company.”
