The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and
chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19, Boss
Mustapha, has sought to clarify misrepresentation in their briefing on Monday.
Mustapha, speaking to NAN on Tuesday, said it was
erroneously reported that the federal government had re-introduced nationwide
curfew between 12am and 4am, as part of the COVID-19 safety protocols.
According to him, the announcement made by the National
Incident Manager, Dr. Mukhtar Mohammed, was taken out of context.
Mustapha explained that the curfew imposed earlier under Phase Three of the eased lockdown was not relaxed.
“Under the Fourth Phase of restriction of movement, night
clubs, gyms and others will remain closed till further notice; while all
citizens will also ensure that mass gatherings outside work settings do not
exceed maximum of 50 people in an enclosed space.
“These restrictions have been in existence under the Third
Phase but are being maintained under the Phase Four of the phased restriction
of movement,” Mustapha said.
He added that “The PSC hereby reiterates that there is no
newly introduced lockdown” and urged Nigerians not to panic.
