Mustapha, who is the chairman of the presidential task force on COVID-19, announced this during a media briefing in Abuja in Monday.
He also said a family member who is one-year-old tested positive for the virus.
The SGF had gone into isolation last week after he was exposed to the virus.
He said while he and his wife tested negative for the virus, his children are currently receiving treatment.
He described the last one week as traumatic and urged Nigerians to not let their guard down as the country has entered into the second wave of the pandemic.
Mustapha added that the spike in coronavirus cases is as a result of the consequences of certain occurrences in the last few weeks such as increase in social gatherings and disregard for health protocols.
“A lot of discussion is still going on around the calls for the restriction of international travels due to the discovery of new strains of the virus in certain countries,” he said.
“The PTF, aviation and health authorities including the WHO are assessing the situation closely and would take a position as soon as cogent scientific basis are established.”
