The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , will address Nigerians at 8 pm today .He tweeted, “Buhari will address the nation later today, at 8:00 pm.
Television, radio, and other electronic media stations are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the NTA and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria respectively for the broadcast.”
However, barely a day to the end of the extension, stakeholders have disagreed on whether the President should extend the lockdown or ease it. As of April 13 when the President extended the lockdown, the number of cases was 343 in 19 states and the FCT. The number of deaths was 10 while 91 persons had been discharged. But, as of today , there are 1273 confirmed cases of #COVID-19 reported in Nigeria; 239 recoveries and 40 deaths.
He had also warned on March 27 that the state might see up to 39,000 cases but that if everyone practised good social distancing, the figure would be limited to 13,000.
