The Federal Government and state governors say there is no
indication of an imminent lockdown as Nigeria prepares for COVID-19 third wave.
Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu spoke to State House
correspondents after a virtual National Economic Council (NEC) meeting presided
over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Sanwo-Olu said the VP assured that NEC would convene an
emergency meeting on the COVID-19 resurgence, whenever the need arose.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) had warned of the spread
of COVID-19 Delta variant.
Sanwo-Olu said there will be a review on a weekly basis to
assess what the trends are.
“The chairman of the council (Osinbajo) mentioned to us that
if there is a need for an emergency meeting, he will call one,” he said.
The governor said the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control
(NCDC) and the Presidential Task Force (PTF) are working with states like Lagos
to monitor daily happenings.
“We are preparing ourselves to ensure that as much as
possible, we can very quickly flatten the curve’’, Sanwo-Olu added.
