He was speaking when the task force met with the leadership of the national assembly in Abuja on Thursday regarding the pandemic.
“I can tell you for sure, I never knew that our entire healthcare infrastructure was in the state in which it is util I was appointed to do this work,” the SGF said.
He said if developed countries are overwhelmed and struggling to contain the coronavirus, “then Nigeria needs to improve its own.”
The SGF prayed that the COVID-19 spread Nigeria does not escalate, adding that the country lacked what is required to handle the situation.
