    President Muhammadu Buhari has lifted the lockdown placed on the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos and Ogun states after 28 days imposition.

    The President said the lockdown in the two states and the FCT will take effect from Monday, 4 May 2020.

    In a national address on Monday, President Buhari said he took the decision after recommendation from the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.

    “Based on the above and in line with the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, the various Federal Government committees that have reviewed socio-economic matters and the Nigeria Governors Forum, I have approved for a phased and gradual easing of lockdown measures in FCT, Lagos and Ogun States effective from Monday, 4th May, 2020 at 9am.

    However, this will be followed strictly with aggressive reinforcement of testing and contact tracing measures while allowing the restoration of some economic and business activities in certain sectors.

    • Buhari to address Nigerians at 8pm

    He explained that the highlights of the new nationwide measures are as follows;

    Furthermore, new nationwide measures are to be introduced as follows;

    a. There will be an overnight curfew from 8pm to 6am. This means all movements will be prohibited during this period except for essential services;

    b. There will be a ban on non-essential inter-state passenger travel until further notice;

    c. Partial and controlled interstate movement of goods and services will be allowed for the movement of goods and services from producers to consumers; and

    d. We will strictly ensure the mandatory use of face masks or coverings in public in addition to maintaining physical distancing and personal hygiene. Furthermore, the restrictions on social and religious gatherings shall remain in place. State Governments, corporate organisations and philanthropists are encouraged to support the production of cloth masks for citizens.

    40. For the avoidance of doubt, the lockdown in the FCT, Lagos and Ogun States shall remain in place until these new ones come into effect on Monday, 4th May 2020.
