Ihekweazu spoke during an event organised by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Abuja, urging Nigerians to be cautious and responsible to help prevent another outbreak of the pandemic.
He said;
The increasing number of COVID-19 cases in other parts of the world is a reminder that the virus is still with us and we cannot afford to be complacent. The second wave of infection is possible in Nigeria but it is not inevitable. We can prevent it with our collective action and our collective responsibility.
