The Presidential Task Force on COVID - 19 has said travels, reopening of schools , businesses and religious centres contributed to the rise in coronavirus cases in Nigeria .

Chairman of the PTF and Secretary to the Government of the Federation , Boss Mustapha , made this known on Monday during a media briefing in Abuja .

He said, “ It is however very instructive to stress that factors that have contributed to rise in numbers from late November 2020 included increased local and international travels, business and religious activities , reopening of schools without strict compliance with COIVID -19 safety measures .

“ The full import of the fore- going is to press further on the need for us all to elevate the level of our vigilance and compliance with the recommended non -pharmaceutical interventions .”
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control said that confirmed cases of coronavirus have risen to 100 ,087 in the country .

This is coming 45 weeks after the country recorded its first COVID -19 case on February 27 , 2020 , according to data available on NCDC ’s website on Monday , January 11 .
The agency also said that out of the total 100 ,087 COVID - 19 cases , 80 ,030 patients have been discharged while 1 ,358 are dead .

The data also showed that there are 18 ,699 active cases in Nigeria , with Lagos and FCT having 6 , 858 and 5 ,563 respectively.

Data from the NCDC ’s website also revealed that the country recorded 1 ,024 new cases in 16 states and the Federal Capital Territory on January 10 , 2020 .

The NCDC said, “ On the 10 th of January 2021 , 1024 new confirmed cases and 8 deaths were recorded in Nigeria .

“ Till date, 100087 cases have been confirmed , 80030 cases have been discharged and 1358 deaths have been recorded in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory .

Looters with Pen.... At another one.

Means to suppress the poor and loot.

mustava wil neva be president no matter his evil schemes God rubbish him and punish for punishin naija masses.

U bastards still refused to ban international from certain countries becos of ur friends and families but are now blaming Nigerians for travelling locally. All they do is wait and copy wateva western countries are doing about the pandemic and make a mess about implementation. The virus is actually spreading and most ppl are treating it like it's the usual malaria and typhoid. I personally know 2 persons who have been battling it for over a week now. One has been referred to Gwagwalada specialist hospital while the other one was taken back home by the family to continue treatment at home. Most hospitals are taking in patients without knowing until it becomes all too obvious

Serious wahala for private school teachers

Dumbo. You forgot to add your NIN registration. Only an irrational and insane government would start such policy in times as high risk as these. It's as sensible as asking people to register for voter ID during a civil war. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it?

Useless man... And someone will be telling me covid is real... Is real but time for election dem go want make we vote for them, kogi way be say e link to many state people dey stop for kogi, lodge and e still be 5 since... Nonsense country... Scamdemic...foolish government... Foolish politicians

We thank God for our lives, the lives of our neighbors. Friends, clients and Well-wishers.

Baba God thank you o

Be safe out there guys.....

Coronavirus is REAL and now more deadlier.....due all the traveling and gathering over the festive season.

Keep yourself and family safe pleaseeeee!

But vaccine is coming by January ending?
Why closing schools?

Whose future ?
So Nigerian kids want to rule the world in the nearest future abi ?

Which school opens during holidays? PTF and stupid remarks are like bread and tea

So, these elections, political gatherings etc didn't contribute to it right? Assho!es

awhybliss:

So the vaccines are coming straight to the schools abi ?
WehDone

They knew the hardship will not affect them and is left for the masses to find a means for survival. The rate of crime this time will exceeded the previous one they have recorded for sure.

Enough of all this!!!
And the forceful registration for nimc wasn't part of the causes

a dead man has no future

I sorry for these people children and grand kids..... the embarrassment and questioning must be off the chart.

Children at home playing with friends in the street and children at school what difference does it make?

All I can deduce from the Boss is that Nigerians should brace themselves for another round of hardship from Buhari.

God when will this country ever be stable?!

did the people you said die? did they spread the virus to anyone else you know?

Very true and Valid point. European countries banned flights from the United Kingdom where a more infectious strain was found but Buhari refused to ban flights from the United Kingdom for personal gains.

Nonsense, this PTF should be disbanded. They always say things that are insensible.....

They ain't brilliant.......

nonsense, you think this PThievesF we want this epidemic to end? you know how much allowances they're getting on this programmed epidemic



I pity those that have hope in this useless administration, imaging emulating other countries that have laid down social amenities that will relieved their citizens burden but these fools were hiding palliatives donated by private citizens o in their warehouse


well you can lockdown Nigerians for 300yrs, after all you closed boarders for some months and they didn't protest. one of the docile citizens in Africa, we take shít a lot in Nigeria from this mohamadman Buhari Administration
