The senate has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to address
Nigerians on the coronavirus pandemic.
The senate made the request after debating a matter of
urgent public importance at Wednesday’s plenary session.
Nigeria currently has eight confirmed cases of the virus.
The president is yet to address citizens since the outbreak,
even though the country recorded its first case of the infection three weeks
ago.
The upper legislative chamber also asked for the
establishment of testing centres in all the 36 states and the federal capital
territory (FCT).
It also sought mandatory quarantine for travellers from
high-risk countries and restriction of flights from such countries.
The federal government on Wednesday banned travellers from
13 countries with at least 1,000 confirmed cases of the virus, including the
United States, the United Kingdom and Italy.
