Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari says Nigerians must take individual responsibility and resist the strong temptation of compliance-fatigue by following the recommended COVID-19 protocols to beat the ravaging pandemic.
The president, in his Christmas message to Nigerians on Thursday in Abuja, said the call had become imperative as the nation is already experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 infection.
He, therefore, urged all citizens and residents to adhere strictly to the non-pharmaceutical prevention guidelines of regular hand-washing, wearing masks and social/physical distancing with a view to mitigating the spread of this devastating virus
“While national and state institutions are trying their best, we must take individual responsibility and resist the strong temptation of compliance-fatigue by following the recommended protocols put in place by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and beat the ravaging pandemic.
“I have absolute confidence in the spirit of resilience of our people to do the needful and remain vigilant even as this festive season witnesses increased travels and celebrations.
“Staying alive to enjoy future festivals should be the watchword.
“I wish all Nigerians divine protection and Merry Christmas,’’ the president said.
