Why we agreed on 14 days lockdown – Gov Abiodun

The Ogun State Governor, Mr Dapo Abiodun, has shed more light on how his colleagues decided on a 14 day lockdown of movements in Nigeria.

He said the decision was to further curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

Mr Abiodun in an Instagramme post explained that it would be a lot easier for each Governor to deal with contact tracing if there’s is inter state restrictions.

He said “We jointly decided to close our interstate borders across the country for two initial weeks in a bid to curb the interstate spread of the virus and enhance our ability to better handle contact tracing.

“This, however, tallies with the earlier decision and stance of the Ogun State government to keep all our interstate and international borders shut, except to essential services”.
