“Consultations will continue and tonight, I will be holding another round of video conference with the team of governors appointed by the National Economic Council to interface with the PTF,” he said.
Mustapha also said PTF will meet with the heads of security agencies, “to enforce the guidelines and protocols firmly” and “further fine-tune strategies to ensure compliance.”
