Sani issued the warning during the daily briefing of the taskforce on Tuesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
He also urged state governments to draw up guidelines on how to deal with the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n
According to Sani, the federal government can\u2019t be solely responsible for tackling the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
He charged state governments to start \u201ctaking ownership\u201d in the fight.<\/p>\n
Sani said: \u201cWe are encouraging states to come up with their own state-specific initiatives. This pandemic is going to be with us for a little longer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt cannot continue to be driven primarily from the federal level.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to ensure that state governments start taking ownership. Our responsibility is to provide guidance to the states and make sure that those decisions that we have taken at the federal level are being implemented in one way or the other by the state governments.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
