"No Presidential Broadcast On COVID-19 Today" - Presidency

The Presidency, on Monday, said there will not be a Presidential Broadcast on Coronavirus updates today.

Recall that Aliyu Sani, the national coordinator of the presidential task force on COVID-19, had earlier said that President Muhammadu Buhari will address the nation in a broadcast on Monday following the end of the first phase of the gradual easing of the COVID-19 lockdown.

However, in statement made available to journalists on Monday by President Buhari’s Spokesman, Femi Adesina, said the presidential broadcast was not planned.

He said : "No presidential broadcast on COVID-19 updates today. None was planned. Rather, the Presidential Task Force will during its usual media briefings bring the nation up to speed on the next steps."
