The Chairman, House Committee on Health, TANKO SUNUNU, has advised the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to employ the same strategies used in fighting polio in the country, to also fight the pandemic.

Speaking about the government’s reaction to the second wave of the virus, SUNUNU noted that while certain steps need to be taken, he would not advise for a second lockdown.

According to him, rather than putting an absolute lockdown that will affect the economy just like it was in the first lockdown, the government should try to see how they can engage stakeholders just like it did when Nigeria was battling with the poliovirus.
