The Nigerian Medical Association has kicked against the Federal Government’s decision to ease lockdown in Lagos, Ogun, and the Federal Capital Territory effective May 4, describing it as “premature”.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , in a state broadcast on Monday, had announced the phased and gradual easing of the about five-week lockdown in the three places.
The statement read in part, “As the incidence of the COVID-19 hits the 2000th mark by this weekend, just seven days after hitting the 1000th mark, it figuratively tilts the epidemiological curve towards an upward spike. “The easing of the lockdown even in phases is very premature. Nigeria should learn from her neighbour, Ghana, where the same action produced 100 percent increase in infection rate in just a week.
