On the marching order of President Muhammadu Buhari, the Presidentical Task Force on COVID–19 sends a powerful delegation to meet Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State, and set up a Special Committee to work closely with the Kano COVID–19 Team.
Dr. Nasiru Sani Gwarzo, who led the delegation, said “President Muhammadu Buhari gave us a marching order to be in Kano and find out what the state needs for containing the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Dr Gwarzo said "President said we must do everything possible to support, reinforce and mobilize support even beyond the nation. Your Excellency on the Special Committee sent to Kano to work with the state government are experts in public health and other areas."
In his response governor Ganduje thanked President Buhari for coming to the aid of the state "at this critical time. He takes the right step and there is no doubt about this. Your coming to Kano will let you know the areas that we need all the necessary intervention."
We need more Testing Centres in the state. And the extension of Isolation Centres is absolutely necessary. Because there is this fear of community transmission. And we need more sample collection areas. In all the 44 LGAs we must have multiple collection centres – Gov. Ganduje
Professor Nasidi emphasizes that Special Committee are not in Kano to compete or to replace any existing structure, but to reinforce already existing structures in the state.
