The state governors immersed the decentralization of the COVID-19 response, saying it's the most effective chance of nipping the spread of the virus in communities. They also raised a heavy concern over the rising spread of the virus among medical experts and resolved to figure with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to confirm that medical experts are “adequately” given personal protective equipment (PPE) and are “constantly” trained on the employment of protective gears. The NGF chairman also briefed the forum on things of the pandemic and coordination efforts with the centralized, multilateral and bilateral partners, and also the private sector.
The forum held a minute’s silence in honour of all Nigerians who had lost their lives from coronavirus, especially medical experts who were within the front lines of the epidemic. PAY
It was reported that the director-general of the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, said that President Muhammadu Buhari will make some difficult decisions on COVID-19 containment next week. Ihekweazu made the statement while on a courtesy call to the Katsina state governor, Rt. Hon. Aminu Masari in his office at Government House Katsina.
