Adelani Adepegba, AbujaThe Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force in COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, and other members of the PTF have taken the COVID-19 tests. The development was sequel to the disclosure by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and PTF member, Geoffrey Onyeama, that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Findings also showed that three journalists covering the PTF media briefings had earlier tested positive for the virus. After the tests on Monday, investigations show that the SGF visited the force headquarters where he decorated some newly-promoted officers. The spokesman, SGF office, Mr Willy Bassey, said he had no information on the PTF members’ testing.
