President Muhammadu Buhari warned that Nigeria’s economy is too unstable for a fresh coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown.
Infosive notes that the president said this in his Twitter post @MBuhari on Thursday.
Buhari argued that compliance with the COVID-19 protocols by all Nigerians is essential to averting the second wave of the country’s pandemic.
“Looking at the trends in other countries, we must do all we can to avert a second wave of COVID-19 in Nigeria.
“We must make sure that our cases, which have gone down, do not rise again. Our economy is too fragile to bear another round of lockdown,” Buhari wrote.
