Given the current global outbreak of the novel Coronavirus
and its potential of causing significant disruption to health services in the
country as well as impacting negatively on the economy, President Muhammadu
Buhari
has established a Presidential Task Force for the Control of the
Coronavirus-19 Disease (COVID-19).

This action is in preparation for the unlikely but probable
major outbreak of the disease in the country which will require a
multi-sectoral inter-governmental approach as advised by the World Health
Organisation (WHO) similar to that adopted for the HIV epidemic in the last two
decades.

The start and finish task group which would be expected to
deliver within a maximum period of six months, comprises the following:

a.     Mr. Boss
Mustapha (SGF) – Chair

b.     Dr. Sani Aliyu
– National Coordinator

c.      Hon. Minister of Health

d.     Hon. Minister
of Interior

e.     Hon. Minister
of Aviation

f.       Hon. Minister
of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Services

g.     Hon. Minister
of Education

h.     Hon. Minister
of Information and Culture

i.        Hon.
Minister of Environment

j.      
Director-General, State Services

k.

Representative
