Nigerians have taken to their various social media pages to celebrate the actress’ appointment.
Her appointment comes shortly after the former face of NCDC, actress Funke Akindele was lambasted for flouting Nigeria’s social-distancing protocols.
Funke Akindele and her husband were arraigned before the Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Ogba by the Lagos State Government for alleged violation of the lockdown order to check the spread of coronavirus.
The actress hosted guests at a bash for her husband in their upscale residence in Lekki.
She was fined and sentenced to community service by a court in Lagos.
The NCDC posted a video of Toyin Abraham sharing information on the deadly virus.
Toyin Abraham was heard speaking in the Yoruba language and encouraging people to follow the health protocols.
