President and Commander in Chief of Armed Forces Muhammadu Buhari has directed all State government and the Federal Capital Territory to enforce the use of face mask in public places nationwide.

Boss Mustapha, Chairman, Presidential Task Force on COVD-19 Boss made this known at daily press briefing on Thursday in Abuja.

Mustapha, while reviewing the activities of the committee, said the president also approved that the current phase of the National Response to COVID-19 should be maintained for another four weeks, but with some modifications.

“President Buhari also asked the PTF to partner with states and local governments to improve community sensitisation and engagement to step up response to the COVID-19 response.

“He also encouraged state governments to collaborate with local government authorities to intensify necessary measures such as contact tracing, grassroots mobilisation and risk communication.

“He also ordered that collaboration with other mandate groups at federal/state levels to harmonise the country’s COVID-19 response be strenghtened on the short, medium and long-term basis,” he said.

Mustapha warned against stigmatisation and skepticism among Nigerians in the fight against COVID-19.

“I wish to remind all Nigerians that this fight is for every one; everyone must take responsibility.

“Disbelief and skepticism will further complicate our situation; we should not stigmatise anyone infected. Our communities should own the response and educate our citizens,” he said.

Audio president.
A leader that doesn't lead by example.

If u like declare face mask plus shield mask and ski mask my neighbor will not wear.
He said face mask is the mark of the beast.
A matter that we all are incapable of settling.
