Report was rife on Tuesday that an expatriate employee of the Dangote Group was tested positive to the pandemic disease.
Reacting via a statement, the company said the victim was a consultant and not a staff member as it is being speculated.
The statement reads in part: “We will like to state that an Indian national who is a staff member of Onshore Construction Company, a mechanical, electrical and instrumentation contracting firm that specialises in fertilizer construction reported at the site clinic complaining of high temperature.
“His complaint triggered our Covid-19 preparation and prevention protocols which necessitated further screening and isolation immediately.”
The Group also announced precautionary measures it has taken to avoid the spread of the disease including a travel ban on all employees to and fro high risk countries.
