The NEC Committee received the report of its Technical Working Group which proposed an array of policy options and recommendations on how federal, state and local governments can bring relief to the people and take other adequate measures in containing and responding to the adverse economic effects of the pandemic.

Speaking at the meeting, Osinbajo emphasised the importance of the assignment and the urgency required, asking that public enlightenment and sensitisation on the seriousness of the pandemic should be further intensified at all government levels so that more and more Nigerians would become aware of the compelling and critical dimensions of the situation.

He assured the governors that the government was already packaging further resources for a comprehensive economic response to alleviate the challenges of the pandemic, support the States and provide succour to Nigerians in a timely and effective manner.

He disclosed that the newly created Economic Sustainability Committee constituted by the president will also be meeting this week to start its work and respond to the situation appropriately.
