Mr Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF)/Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19,
said Nigeria’s national response on COVID-19 is achieving impressive results.
The PTF chairman, who stated this at the daily briefing of
the task force on Monday in Abuja, said “Nigeria continues to progressively
witness declining confirmed cases of COVID-19 with a record low number of 79
cases on Sunday, Sept. 13.
“While this suggests that we are winning this war, the reality
is that we need to improve on our commitment to eliminate the virus completely
by abiding with the protocols so that we can return to a semblance of what was
our normal life.
“In a very modest way, therefore, we could say that our National Response, under the guidance of Mr. President, is achieving impressive results and this has been commended by our development partners.
“The PTF wishes to use this opportunity to also thank our
development partners as their support has contributed in no small measures to
the successes so far recorded and we count on their continued support as we
progress in tackling this pandemic,” Mustapha said.
While calling for caution, the PTF chairman said “one
critical element we must not lose sight of is the fact that our cautious
approach has tremendously helped in our containment efforts.
” Therefore, we should avoid complacency at all cost. Our
focus should go beyond flattening the curve and ridding our land of this virus
just as we did with the poliovirus.”
While decrying the industrial action by the Joint Health
Sector Unions (JOHESU), the SGF admitted that the contributions of health
workers had no doubt contributed to the nation’s gains.
