Northern Governors Agree To Deport More Almajiris, Set Curfew For Inter-state Trucks Movement | Sahara Reporters The governors also agreed to impose inter-state border curfews to stop the movement of people from one state to another in trucks... READ MORE:
The Northern Governor's Forum has resolved to continue its deportation of children under Islamic clerics better known as almajiris.
Macham said the forum reviewed issues such as the request for more COVID-19 testing centres in the North which are grossly inadequate and decided to purchase mobile testing vans which they believe will facilitate testing in the rural areas. "On the issue of inter-state border closure, the Northern governors expressed serious concern that despite their efforts, the borders are still being compromised and more illegal routes are being created which is giving rise to a more inter-state transfer of COVID-19.
"They, therefore, decided to close all borders from 6pm to 7am to all trucks carrying goods so as to enable proper scrutiny and examination the following day, which is difficult to achieve in the night when most of the infractions happen.
