The exercise was flagged off by the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Also present at the exercise on Friday was the Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Faisal Shuaib, who described the moment as a “watershed”.
On his part, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, said it was crucial “to first cater for those who cater for us”.
