President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said the country’s economy is “too fragile” to go through another period of lockdown.
The president disclosed this through his twitter handle, urging Nigerians to continue adhering to the laid down COVID-19 protocols in order to avoid a resurgence of infections that would prompt the government to impose new lockdown measures.
“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,” said Buhari
Earlier this year, Nigeria had imposed a total lockdown on parts of the country and lasted for more than five weeks. The lockdown, however, had a huge effect on the country’s economy.
