The National Coordinator of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, Dr. Sani Aliyu, announced that the nationwide curfew is now from 12am to 4am.
The Federal
Government of Nigeria has reviewed the nationwide curfew earlier put at 10pm
to 4am to restrict movement in the country amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
He made the
announcement during a briefing at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport,
Abuja, on Thursday.
Aliyu said,
“I will first of all start with general movement. We are modifying the curfew
to commence from 12 midnight to 4am nationwide, effective from 12:00 tonight.
“This does
not apply to people on essential services and international travellers that
might be returning from abroad.”
This makes it
the second time the PTF reviewed the curfew following the lifting of the lock- down
occasioned by the pandemic.
The PTF had
on May 4, 2020, imposed a nationwide curfew from 6 pm to 8 am.
It later
reviewed the timing to between 10 pm and 4 am on June 1, 2020.
