The Federal Government set to close all motor parks, ban inter state travel in Nigeria.
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, made this announcement during a press conference on Thursday morning.
Recall that Nigeria recorded five new cases of coronavirus with cases in the country rising to 51 and Rivers State, south-south Nigeria recording its first case.
Lai in his speech said the FG is: “considering tougher measures to enforce compliance, stop the exportation of the disease to states that do not have it and minimize spread. Possible measures include:
– Stopping inter-state/inter-town travels, except for essential services– Closing all motor parks and inter-state rail stations. Already, all train movements nationwide have been stopped.
– Using fire fighting and other adaptable vehicles and personnel to fumigate
cities and towns.
We will be considering and announcing new measures from time to time, but rest assured that whatever decisions we take will be in the best interest of Nigerians.
