President Muhammadu has appointed the secretary to the Federal Government: Mr. Bosss Mustapha as the head of the Presidential Task Force set up to tackle fast-growing #CoronaVirus pandemic in the country. According to the latest reports, there have now been five new cases of Coronavirus victims in the country and all victims had travel records visiting the United States and the United Kingdom as well.
However, this appointment by President Buhari has sparked up reactions from Nigerians especially social media as they believed that Mr. Boss Mustapha’s appointment is ridiculous and a total misfit for that germane role. Mr. Boss Mustapha is a businessman, lawyer, management consultant as well as politician which means he has no background in the medical line whatsoever.
Once again, Nigerians are criticizing President Buhari for his “square peg in a round hole” appointment. See reactions here:
Boss Mustapha, a lawyer, heads the Presidential Task Force on #Coronavirus. In a country with public health experts, epidemiologists, infectologists, you appoint a misfit, and overlook Prof John Nwangwu? Google him

Boss Mustapha job at this time got nothing to do with Medicine it's pure adminstrative duties. Are you guys aware the best hospitals are managed by non Doctors ? Doctors are Doctors they are not administrators.
