Mustapha, who is the secretary to the government of the federation, also expressed concern about the 1,204 cases recorded on Monday, the highest number of daily infections in the country.

He attributed the increase to the Christmas and new year festivities.

He also added that on Tuesday, 1,354 infections were recorded which was the highest daily number ever recorded since they commenced the national response.

“We can only hope that numbers will not escalate beyond control. We however, still appeal to all citizens to take full responsibility through compliance and vigilance.” Mustapha pleaded.
