FG orders fresh four-weeks lockdown

Nigerian government on Monday ordered another four=week lockdown as part of measures to curtail the spread of coronavirus in the country.

The chairman of the presidential task force on COVID-19 Boss Mustapha disclosed this during the daily briefing to journalists, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari approved the extension.

He said his team is “committed to striking a delicate balance between lives and livelihood,” adding that some modifications of the phase 2 of the eased lockdown were made including the reopening of airports for local flights “as soon as practicable,” reopening of schools for exiting students in secondary schools and the lift of ban on interstate travels.

He said the reopening of schools was meant to allow students in graduating classes to resume preparation for examinations and that nationwide curfew from 10pm to 4am is still intact while the use of face masks in public places is still mandatory.
