The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, has apologised for the controversy that greeted his committee members’ conduct at the burial of Late Abba Kyari.
He was speaking at the 15th joint national briefing of the task force in Abuja.
Nigerians have taken to the social media to criticize the violation of the principle of social distancing at the burial ceremony of the late Chief of Staff to the president in Abuja.
But Mustapha said he regretted the unintentional violation of the principles and protocols that form the core of their messaging to Nigerians, at the funeral of the late Chief of Staff.
Mustapha said that lessons have been learnt, appropriate measures taken to close all gaps and assured all Nigerians of their safety and the determination of the Task Force to combat the pandemic.
