President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate extension of the ongoing movement restrictions in the country by two weeks.
The extension of the ongoing restriction will be effective from 12 midnight today (May 18 to June 1).
"Advisedly, the current phase of eased restriction will be maintained for another two weeks during which stricter enforcement and persuasion measures will be pursued.
"Based on the recommendations of the PTF, Mr President has approved the following:
"The measures, exemptions, advisories and scope of entities allowed to reopen under phase one of the eased locked down, shall be maintained across the federation for another two weeks effective from 12 00 midnight today (18th May 2020 to 1st June 2020)" Mr Mustapha said
President Buhari had on April 27 announced the gradual easing of a five-week lockdown in FCT, Lagos and Ogun state.
That nationwide curfew and a ban on interstate travel are what Mr Mustapha said will continue from tonight.
