Just imagine, see how they are telling us the offices occupied by Hausa Fulani Muslims.

God, where are you, are we still your children?
Is Nigeria still one of your nation?

If yes Lord, it is time to do something, please intervene with full force SOVEREIGN LORD. Come with your CHOIRS OF ANGELS : Angels, Archangels, Saints, Hosts, Principalities, Virtues, Powers, Dominions, Thrones, Cherubim and Seraphim.

A good move. But the list seems not to be complete.

The CG of customs, Immigration & prisons ought to be in that panel. NOA & minister of info too.

Then all states commissioners of health. Cmd's of our teaching hospitals. Vc's, rectors, secondary school principals etc.

The task force can be broken down into smaller units in state levels with Cmd's etc heading them.

This will help the 12 or so principal members to be more effective and efficient.

desperate times calls for desperate measures.

major economies of the world are been held in a stand still due to this virus.

It will not be out of place for heads of our institutions to work extra in other to see that this thing is nip in the bud. (My opinion)
