On April 16, 2020, the Chinese government provided a second batch of medical supplies, worth N170 million, to Nigeria for COVID-19 response and prevention efforts. The donated supplies included 1,500 respiratory masks, 10,000 surgical masks, 1,750 disposable surgical gowns, 350 infrared thermometers, 1,750 medical goggles, 9,750 gloves, and 9,750 shoe covers. A handover ceremony was held for this donation in the Cargo Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja International Airport) in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria. Li Yuan, the Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, and the Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning attended the ceremony. This is reported as the second batch of medical supplies provided by the Chinese Government to Nigeria. The first batch of supplies arrived in Lagos, Nigeria on April 13, 2020, but no more information is available on this donation.
