The peak of the coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria is still far ahead, experts said, but ten states and the Federal Capital of Abuja currently bear the greater burden of the virus spread in the country.
Latest figures released by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) shows that Lagos remains the hot spot for the virus, having recorded 1,845 cases out of the national total of 4,399.
Kano takes the second position in the grim statistics with 602 cases while Abuja has 356 cases.
North western states such as Katsina, Sokoto, Kaduna and Jigawa are also in the top 10.
Katsina has 156 cases, Jigawa 118, Sokoto 106 and Kaduna 98.
Borno which had its first case on 22 April, 51 days after Nigeria declared an outbreak of COVID-19 disease, is now the fourth worst-hit country with 185 cases.
The state already wracked by insurgency for more than 10 years, now has a new trouble in coronavirus.
Ogun in the south west and Gombe in the north east are the other states that complete the top league.
While Gombe has 112 cases, Ogun has 117.
