Nigeria Governors Agree On 14-Day National Lockdown

Nigerian Governors Forum has agreed on Wednesday to Lockdown all interstate boarders so as to help Federal Government fight the coronavirus and eradicate the disease on time.

The outcome of the  meeting was made public by Dapo Abiodun, the Ogun state governor via a statement on his official Twitter handle.

“Yesterday, all Governors in Nigeria held a virtual meeting where we all shared measures adopted in our individual states to contain the spread of the Coronavirus.

“We jointly decided to close our interstate borders across the Country for two initial weeks in a bid to curb the interstate spread of the virus and enhance our ability to better handle contact tracing.

This, however, tallies with the earlier decision and stance of the Ogun State Government to keep all our interstate and international borders shut, except to essential services.

We jointly decided to close our interstate borders across the Country for two initial weeks in a bid to curb the interstate spread of the virus and enhance our ability to better handle contact tracing.
