President Muhammadu Buhari has urged State Governors to work closely with the Presidential Task Force, PTF on Covid-19, to engender better harmony in the daunting task of checking the pandemic.
The President spoke during an online meeting Monday with the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, disclosing that the PTF had briefed him on next steps in the national response to the pandemic, “and I have directed that they work very closely with the Governors.”
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, President Buhari said the pandemic was “beyond technology, power, and resources,” noting that countries that had all those, were recording highest casualties around the world.
