Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, has expressed that the lockdown presently experienced in certain parts of the nation might be extended if Nigerians don't keep out of mischief.
Lai, who is an individual from the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, revealed this in Abuja when he highlighted in a gathering to give a report on government endeavors at containing the pandemic, NAN reports.
He said:
“If we don’t behave ourselves, there is a likelihood that the lockdown will be extended, but if we behave ourselves, there might not be an extension and I hope we do so.
“If we stay at home for two weeks and we are doing everything we are supposed to do, we should be able to effectively contain the disease.
“Therefore, my appeal to Nigerians is that they should obey the directive on social distancing, personal hygiene and shun gatherings; after two weeks, we will resume our normal life.
“But if they think it is a joke, then we may have to stay at home more than the two weeks.”
