As Nigeria announces the second case of coronavirus, the Nnamdidi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, has asked Chinese scholars involved in a Chinese programme in the institution not to travel to their country for now.
It also ordered those who have travelled to remain n China for now.
This is as the university suspended a Chinese course in the institution amid fears of a probable spread.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof. Charles Esomone, disclosed this during a pre-convocation press conference on Monday, noting that the Chinese course under Confucius Institute of the University would now be run online.
He said the University had also asked its Chinese lecturers, who travelled for Christmas vacation, not to return to the University while those who were around had been barred from travelling.
