The Presidency has announced that the President, Muhammadu Buhari, will not be addressing the nation on COVID -19 updates today.

Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, took to Twitter to disclose this.

According to Adesina, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, would update the nation during its briefings.

“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,” he tweeted.

This counters the announcement made earlier by the national coordinator of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 that the president will be addressing the nation today.
