The federal
government has lifted the total lockdown on Kano state over COVID-19.
President Muhammadu
Buhari first ordered a two-week lockdown in the state on April 27 following
strange deaths in kano.
The lockdown was
again extended on May 18.
But at a briefing on
Monday, Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) and
chairman of the presidential task force on COVID-19, said Buhari had approved
the ease of the lockdown in the state.
He said his
committee evaluated the situation after which it submitted a recommendation to
the president.
Abdullahi Ganduje,
governor of Kano state, had earlier appealed for an urgent ease of the total
lockdown the federal government imposed on the state.
“The president has
approved the following for implementation over the next four weeks spanning 2nd
– 29th June, 2020, subject to review,” he said.
“Application of
science and data to guide the targeting of areas of on-going high transmission
of COVID-19 in the country;
“Mobilisation of all
resources at State and Local Government levels to create public awareness on
COVID 19 and improve compliance with non-pharmaceutical interventions within
communities.
“Continued provision
of support by the NCDC to States through guidelines to shape decision-making in
responding to high burden LGAs and Wards; and easing the total lockdown of Kano
state and introduction of phase one of the eased lockdown.”
