Secretary
to the Government of the Federation Mr Boss Mustapha and chairman of
Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has been exonerated from blame over his
comments on the state of Nigeria’s health sector. Speaking at a private
meeting, the Secretary-General of the Abuja based Committee for Good Governance
(CFGG) Prince Kenneth Okoh lashed out at those calling the SGF names stating
that it is not the job of Boss Mustapha to know exactly the state of affairs at
the Health sector since you have a substantive Minister in charge as well as a
Minister of State. He said besides, there is a senate and reps committees in
charge of Health who are supposed to perform oversight function in that area.
“Why attack someone who merely reports to the president and is not a medical
doctor or medical inspection officer?” The secretary-General expressed shock that
some critics would take this matter to such ridiculous level and blamed the rot
on the corrupt nature of supervising authorities. “What type of oversight
function do they perform if they cannot detect the huge mess in the Health
sector? asked the secretary-general. Prince Okoh went on to describe Boss
Mustapha as a detribalised Nigerian who is very forthright, accommodating and
simple. He said Boss Mustapha has been executing his task with uncommon panache
and wondered why some critics would pick on him for saying the truth. “He has
brought stability and sense of purpose in the running of government business
and he should be supported” Prince disclosed. His association therefore wasted
no time to pass a vote of confidence on him.Secretary
