The Nigerian government, on
Thursday, extended the second phase of the COVID-19 eased lockdown by another
four weeks.
This extension is the third for
the second phase of lockdown currently observed across Nigeria.
The extension was disclosed by
Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, during
the daily briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 in Abuja.
Under the revised guidelines of
the eased lockdown, which will be maintained in the next four weeks, the
current nationwide curfew from 10 pm- 6 am still stands.
Recall that the task force had
met with President Buhari on Wednesday and briefed him on the progress made so
far in curbing the spread of COVID-19 and keeping citizens safe from
contracting the virus.
“I’m pleased to inform you that
Mr. President has carefully considered the 5th Interim Report of the PTF and
has accordingly approved that, with the exception of some modifications to
expatiate upon later, the Phase Two of the eased lockdown be extended by
another 4 weeks with effect from Tuesday, June 30, 2020, through Midnight of
Monday, July 27, 2020,” he said.
