Governor Abdullahi
Ganduje has asked the federal government to relax the curfew imposed in Kano
state following reports of mysterious deaths in the state.
Ganduje made the
appeal while inaugurating a panel of experts led by the president of the
National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria Musa Borodo, to support the
state task force technical committee.
The Kano state
Governor said relaxation of the curfew became necessary because people are
running out of food.
Ganduje said;
“We would engage the
presidential task force on COVID-19 to seek permission to relax the total
lockdown imposed on Kano.
“We are making this
appeal on behalf of our people who are presently running out of food items. We
would love the federal government to relax the lockdown for a period of time to
enable people stock their homes, especially now that majority of us are
fasting. It will also ease the economic hardship in the state.”
Though the NCDC has
activated a second Coronavirus test center in Kano state, the state currently
has 219 confirmed cases of Coronavirus.
