Due to the rise in the number of confirmed cases, President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday 11th April, urged Nigerians to comply with the lockdown restriction directive “once more” in order to defeat the coronavirus.
The President in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, also promised more interventions for vulnerable citizens.
Recall FG had on March 29 ordered a total cessation of movement in Lagos, Ogun, and the Federal Capital Territory for an initial period of 14 days in a bid to check the spread of the disease in the country.
He also thanked Nigerians for their patience, resolve and strong determination to defeat the COVID-19 outbreak.
The statement read:
“But we must ask you – once more – to observe restrictions on movement where they are in place, and follow the instructions of our scientists and medical advisers: stay home, wash your hands, save lives.
“The freedoms we ask you to willingly forsake today will only last as long as our scientific advisers declare they are necessary. But they are essential – world over – to halt and defeat the spread of this virus."
