Mr President, wear a face mask too: ex-ACF secretary

A former  Secretary-General of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Anthony Sani, has urged President Buhari to also wear a face mask in order to ensure compliance of COVID-19 guidelines that he advises.

According to Sani, one way of enforcing compliance to safety measures and curtailing further spread of COVID-19 is for the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), all the 36 state governors, as well as traditional rulers, to lead the way by wearing face masks.

That way, the nation would break the transmission chain and prevent subsequent return of COVID-19, while saving the health infrastructure, lives and the economy.

He said, “With the current downward trends in the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria, given the absence of vaccine and cure for the COVID-19 for now, and the fact that we have not been able to enforce social distancing measures, the only choice left for us in Nigeria is for everybody to wear face masks in crowded places like markets, motor parks, public gathering, worship places and public transport for at least 14 days.
