The governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Friday said the lockdown currently imposed in the state cannot last forever urging residents to observe relevant health protocol to check the spread of coronavirus.
“If people observe the protocol, then the relaxation of lockdown is in sight. Considering that, the lockdown cannot be forever. What we need to do is to examine and produce more proactive measures,” the governor said in a statement.
The governor’s spokesperson, Abba Anwar, in the statement said the governor “is still aware and conversant with the theory of 3Ls, that of Life, Livelihood and Liberty issues, surrounding lockdown process, both locally and globally, particularly in our local setting”.Mr Ganduje said while agreeing that it was not out of order to tinker with lockdown with a human face, he believes that the issue of total lockdown was still controversial around the globe.
“It is either you take your life and that of your family and other members of the society very serious and stay home and observe other protocols, to stay safe,” Mr Anwar quoted his principal in the statement saying.
