Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari announces a ‘phased and gradual’ lifting of restrictions in Abuja and Lagos, from the 4th of May
LAGOS - Nigeria will begin a “phased and gradual” easing of more than four weeks of lockdowns in the national capital and the largest city on May 4, President Muhammadu Buhari said in an address on Monday.
Confirmed cases of the new virus have roughly quadrupled since a lockdown extension was announced on April 13, to 1,273 cases and 40 deaths, most concentrated in Lagos and Abuja. “No country can afford the full impact of a sustained lockdown while awaiting the development of vaccines,” Buhari said. Authorities will enforce an overnight curfew, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and also will require all those who are out during the day to wear face masks.
