In a review that further eases restrictions in the country, Nigeria has re-opened schools to graduating students, lifted a ban on inter-state travel and resumed domestic flights despite a spike in Covid-19 cases.
The government had imposed a four-week lockdown in 18 out of the 744 local governments areas with 60 percent of coronavirus cases, as total cases hit 25,133 with 573 deaths.
Only graduating students in primary six, Junior Secondary School three (JSS 3) and Senior Secondary School three (SSS 3) are expected to resume school while interstate travels can only be made outside the curfew time of 10 pm to 4 am.
The federal government has also approved resumption of domestic flights as soon as practicable, but warned that churches, mosques, open bars, night clubs, spas and gyms remained closed.
Mr Boss Mustapha, the chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, said in the 5th interim report released June 29 that the new measures will take effect from July 1, 2020.
Mr Mustapha said the federal government has decided to embark on “precision lock down” of 18 local government areas accounting for most of the confirmed virus cases.
