The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on the COVID-19 Pandemic has charged State governments to start considering all available unusual structures

National Coordinator of the PTF, Dr Sani Aliyu, who made the suggestion on Monday during the media briefing by the task force, also emphasised the need for states to start expanding their isolation and treatment capacities, especially since the spread had entered the community level.

“I must emphasise the need for state governments to continue to identify spaces for isolation of persons diagnosed positive with COVID-19. It’s important that we start considering unusual environments such as schools, academic institutions and even abandoned buildings because we definitely need to build our isolation capacities.

“In terms of public sensitisation, just to encourage the public to continue to personally monitor for symptoms of COVID-19, especially now that we have community transmission,” he said. “I’ll like to talk about the socio-economic impact the COVID-19 has had globally and to say that the PTF will continue to prioritize the human and economic needs of our people, based on global guidelines on the pandemic emergency response.

Convert the abandoned old Federal Secretariat Building (in dispute) at Ikoyi as well as other near-desolate, non-functional govt buildings in Lagos & Victoria Islands into well equipped testing labs and world class health centres for & beyond COVID-19 cases

School this govt is not serious

Abandoned school right? Which school is abandoned

What happens to the churches and mosques with large spaces? Since our religious leaders claim these worship centres are healing homes (when taking offering and tithes), then this is the right time to put them to use as there's no activity in there for now! MyThought

Can't Wike do that instead of demolition? Its such a even act in this trial time. Now many workers will return to steeet jobless
