As day passes by with increased number of Covid-19 cases, the Nigeria government is yet again planning to embark on another nation-wide total lockdown till November, as reported at the early hours of Sunday, 12th of July.
According to a report published by a US trained Investigative Journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, through her twitter handle said the federal government is about taking the nation into another total lockdown.
Kemi tweeted:
This is coming few days after the Nigeria Education Minister, Adamu Adamu put a stop on schools reopening plans and publicly said the 2020 West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) earlier schedule to commence August 4th till September 5th will not hold. He further added that “this is the best time to impose a lockdown”. Ever since this briefing was made, the thought of another total lockdown has been trailing the mind of virtually all Nigerians.
It would be worthy of note that 664 new cases of Covid-19 were recently confirmed, taking the total numbers of the confirmed virus cases in Nigeria to 31, 987 with 13,103 discharged and 724 victims dead as reported by the Nigeria Centers for Disease Control (NCDC) on Saturday, 11th of July through their twitter handle.
