The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss
Mustapha has urged tailors to produce face masks using local fabrics like
Ankara.
Mustapha, who is the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force
on Coronavirus, made the appeal during the daily briefing of the committee in
Abuja, yesterday.
He explained that such will encourage Nigerians to start
using face mask whenever they are outside their homes.
Mustapha, however, advised that staying at home remained the
best way to avoid contracting and spreading the virus.
He said: “Let me also encourage all our garment factories
and tailors all over the nation that this is the time to start producing
locally, using our local fabrics, the Ankara and all other materials that we
have because of advisories that as much as possible, we should wear our face
masks whenever we are outside our homes.
“That way, we’ll reduce the chances, in addition to other
necessary things that you need to do, of infection or infecting others.
“It is critical to repeat, however, that compliance with the
advisories for personal hygiene, social distancing, restriction of movement,
early reporting of symptoms and wearing of masks regularly, especially in
public, remain the best measures for the prevention of infections and to slow
down the spread.”
Meanwhile, Nigeria has recorded its highest case of COVID-19
as the toll hit 442.
