Anxiety over new COVID-19 cases in FCT
Some residents, who spoke with our correspondent, said they are living in fear due to the spread of the pandemic on a daily basis.
According to him, the ban on interstate travel was essential to prevent the spread of the virus either by infected persons coming into the FCT or infected persons from the FCT spreading the virus to other parts of the country. By the same token also, if the enforcement is not very strong, infected people from the FCT will also move out to other states. At the end of the day, nationally, we all lose”.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Anthony Ogunleye, the Minister said: “The ultimate objective of the FCTA and the security agencies is to safeguard the lives of the citizens of the FCT and by extension, the citizens of the surrounding states as well as Nigerians in general”.
