The National Economic Council (NEC) has given a condition
for Nigeria to go back to lockdown again in the wake of the second wave of
COVID-19 pandemic.
NEC said Nigeria would have to resort to the last aspect of
going back to lockdown again if Nigerians don’t take proper measures with very
strict observation of the protocols that were laid on COVID-19.
The council expressed worries and advised that sanitation
restrictions on the number of people in gatherings among other protocols should
be taken seriously.
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State, briefed State House
correspondents after a virtual NEC meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo on Thursday, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“It was resolved that proper measures should be taken again
with very strict observation of the protocols and observation of some of the
conditions that were laid, otherwise, we are going to move into a situation
where it will be very uncontrollable.
“And for that, states were advised to go back and emphasize
the implementation or the enforcement of some of the protocols that we have
earlier started in the first phase.
“Otherwise, we have to resort to the last aspect, of course,
everybody knows, going back to lockdown again, which is not anybody’s doing.
“But then let’s all go back and observe most of the
protocols that we have to curtail the further spread of COVID-19,’’ he said.
The Federal Government had warned that Nigeria was witnessing
a second wave of COVID-19 going by the latest records.
