The minister also noted that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is still on strike which was started before the lockdown in March.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and chairman Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, said that presidents, prime ministers and other top personalities have contracted COVID-19.

He warned that people must protect themselves against the coronavirus pandemic, adding that people should not assume that their friends and families are COVID-free.

“Presidents, prime ministers and other top personalities have contracted COVID-19. We must protect ourselves. Don’t assume your friends, families are COVID-free; wear your masks before going out. We must remain alive and safe until a vaccine is found,” he said.
