President Muhamadu Buhari is expected to make some very tough decisions next week on the lockdown due to coronavirus pandemic.
The Director-General, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC Chikwe Ihekweazu stated this in Katsina when he visited Governor Aminu Masari to see the state’s preparedness for pandemic.
He announced that the President is scheduled to join the Governors’ forum teleconference meeting to discuss some of the decisions.
On his part, Governor Masari expressed worry that young men from Katsina State, scattered all over Nigeria, especially Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja, were returning home avoiding official entry points because of the vastness of the land.
He added that his government had involved traditional rulers so that returnees could be identified and quarantined for 14 days, saying those returning through official borders were being recorded and data taken to quarantine them too.
