‘Why Buhari must retract easing of lockdown order’ /
An Abuja-based doctor Zainab Suleiman has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to reconsider the relaxation of the lockdown amid COVID-19 spread.The letter reads in part: “I believe you will not mind my scant courtesy. It is due to the sense of urgency with which I am writing this letter. However, it does not detract from the very high regards that many Nigerians and a lot of people globally have for you.
On the role played by the Federal Government in the fight against the pandemic, Suleiman said: “First, I would like to take this opportunity to commend you and the government for the decisive steps taken to curb and manage the spread of this Covid-19 pandemic. ”Your Excellency, I would also like us to be abreasted with the banes and consequences that could arise from the recent relaxation of the lockdown across the country.
We wouldn’t need a prophet to tell us that with the relaxation of the lockdown and social distancing measures, we can expect high infected rate and peak mortality in approximately three months.” reducing case numbers to low levels by social distancing the entire population indefinitely and closing schools and most commercial activities is still the surest and only way to curtail the hydra-headed monster to its barest minimum.
Our government must ensure food security and food sovereignty through a coordinated and safe roll-out of food packages in food-stressed neighbourhoods; and furthermore ensure free mobile data and public internet access, to keep the public informed.
