President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the presidential lockdown in Ogun, Lagos and Abuja to two more weeks.
Buhari stated this in a nationwide live broadcast that lasted above 20mins on Monday.
“With this in mind and having carefully considered the briefings and Report from the Presidential Task Force and the various options offered, it has become necessary to extend the current restriction of movement in Lagos and Ogun States as well as the FCT for another 14 days effective from 11:59 pm on Monday, 13th of April, 2020. I am therefore once again asking you all to work with Government in this fight”
According to the president, the order was based on the advice of the Federal Ministry of Health and the NCDC.
It may recall that Buhari had on March 29 ordered a total movement restriction in Lagos, Abuja and Ogun State.
