COVID-19 TASK FORCE: “Reconstitute Presidential Task Force”…. Shehu Sani
A
call has been made for the reconstitution of the Presidential Task Force on
Covid19 following its composition of mainly politicians and government
officials.
Senator
Shehu Sani made this position known via is twitter handle when he called for
the disbandment of the PTF on #COVID-19 and that the President should immediately
reconstitute a new one purely made up of Head of Health parastatals, Medical
professionals, Health specialists & representatives of Health Unions.
According
to the vocal Rights Activist, “this task force should relate with Nigerians while
it makes its reports to the President regularly”.
Senator
Shehu Sani, in his Twitter account, stressed that the PTF COVID-19 body should
comprise of health professionals and not politicians and ministers and that it
should include the following;
1.
Heads of Federal Health Parastatals
2.
Representatives of Doctors, Nurses Medical and Health Unions
3.
Selected CMDs of Teaching Hospitals
4.
Selected renowned private Medical practitioners and lastly, that the Presidential
Task Force on COVID-19 should be headed by the likes of Professor Umaru Shehu
or anyone of similar professional ranking.
Senator
Shehu Sani also wondered what goes in the minds of our Doctors, Nurses,
Pharmacists and Health Workers when they are listening to Politicians, Political
appointees, Businessmen and Laymen talking like experts about #COVID19.
This
position of the Distinguished Senator corroborates the minds of many other well-meaning
Nigerians across the country as it slows down the pace at which the PTF on
COVID-19 should be working with.
Having
medical professionals and expert calling the shots will enhance professionalism
and immediate responses to demands of the PTF.
