At a media briefing in Abuja on Monday, PTF Chairman, Boss Mustapha who spoke at a press briefing on Monday January 19 said the country is in a “difficult situation”. He asked Nigerians to take responsibility to avoid a second lockdown.
Mustapha said;
“?Let me remind you that the pandemic is raging and all tiers of Government and citizens must keep their hands-on-deck.

“We are in a difficult situation in which a balance must continue to be struck between lives and livelihood.

“We are considering all options while hoping that broad cooperation will be received. We must do everything possible to avoid a a second lockdown in Nigeria.”

On resumption of schools, Mustapha said;

“?While we note that several States have proceeded with the resumption of schools, the PTF recommends strongly that very strict adherence to Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions should be enforced by the States to avoid the escalation of cases.
