“The PTF continues to monitor the level of activities and compliance with the guidelines nationwide.

“Consultations will continue and tonight, I will be holding another round of video conference with the team of governors appointed by the National Economic Council to interface with the PTF,” he said.

Mustapha also said PTF will meet with the heads of security agencies, “to enforce the guidelines and protocols firmly” and “further fine-tune strategies to ensure compliance.”

By Friday morning, Nigeria had hit 14,554 confirmed COVID-19 cases.
