WorldStage NewsOnline— Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday address the people on further steps to take to check the spread of Coronavirus in the country.
Mr Aliyu Sani, the national coordinator of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 confirmed this when he appeared on a TV programme on Sunday.
The President on Sunday received briefing from the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Mr Boss Mustapha, on the activities of the PTF across the country.
Mustapha, who spoke to State House correspondents on the outcome of the closed door meeting, said they briefed the president on the activities and overall positions of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19.
“This is part of a routine exercise. I think this is about the third time that we have had cause to submit an interim report to him on our activities as a task force, and also to update him on preparation for the other phases of engagement.
“We have supplied him with all the materials required to look at the issues; we are in for the long hurl, this is not a short distance race. It is a marathon and we have to keep everything in perspective.
“Remember that on April 27, he addressed the nation and put in place the easing down of the lockdown effective from May 4. From May 4 to date is about 13 days, tomorrow we should expect new processes to be put in place.
“But we have to give him all the details to help us in preparing for the future. So that is why we are here.”
