By Lukman Amusa

The chairman presidential task for on covid-19 and secretary to the federal government Boss Mustapha said plateau state is now the  epicenter of the novel coronavirus infection  and not Lagos sate.

The Centre of Excellence had passed its COVID-19 peak, PTF Chairman Boss Mustapha said at a briefing in Abuja on Thursday.

According to him, the epicentre of the infection is now Plateau State, which has recorded high cases of infection in the past few days.

Mustapha, who rated Nigeria above average in curtailing the spread of the pandemic, six months after the index case in the country, recalled that Lagos, Kano and Ogun states used to be the epi-centres.

He said the epicentre, which at a point shifted to Oyo State, has now moved to Plateau State.

Mustapha said: “It is with all sense of modesty that I wish to state that Nigeria has done remarkably well, but can do exceedingly better as captured in President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech during the World Health Certification-Free status for the African continent.
