Boss Mustapha Boss Mustapha

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha has warned Nigerians against the need to discriminate against one another over the COVID-19 outbreak.

Giving a brief report at the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, he warned that anyone could get infected.

"Stigmatisation is counterproductive, anyone can be infected and it doesn't discriminate," he said.

Urging citizens not to hide medical histories, he directed them to come clean to the health workers in their own interest. He advised survivors to tell their stories

"Please report to medical facilities in your own interest. COVID-19 is not a condition. Over 90% of people have recovered from this disease. Let survivors tell their stories," Mustapha said.
