The clarification was given by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a tweet post through his official twitter handle on Monday afternoon.
He said that the president was not going to give any broadcast as any new information will be gotten from the usual media briefings of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19.
In the tweet post, Adesina said, ‘’No presidential broadcast on COVID-19 updates today. None was planned. Rather, the Presidential Task Force will during media briefings brings the nation up to speed on the next steps’’.
It would be recalled that there were media reports that the PTF on COVID-19 through its Chairman, Boss Mustapha and National Coordinator, Dr Aliyu Sani, had said that the president was going to talk to Nigerians on the next line of policy direction after the first phase of the gradual easing of COVID-19 lockdown.
