There may be second lockdown, PTF warns

The Presidential Task Force (PFT) on COVID-19 has warned Nigerians that there may be a second lockdown in Nigeria.

The Chairman of PTF, Boss Mustapha, made the call at a briefing in Abuja.

Mustapha, who is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said this can be done by complying with the protocols released by government.

According to him: “Let me remind you that the pandemic is raging and all tiers of Government and citizens must keep their hands-on-deck.

“We are in a difficult situation in which a balance must continue to be struck between lives and livelihood.

“We are considering all options while hoping that broad cooperation will be received.

“We must do everything possible to avoid a second lockdown in Nigeria.”
