BREAKING: Nigerian govt lifts COVID-19 restrictions
The Federal Government of Nigeria has lifted a nationwide midnight curfew and limitations on gatherings.
This is coming after the FG declared that the use of nose mask was no longer compulsory.
“The removal of restrictions was decided in view of the declining number of cases, reduced risk of importation of new variants as well as the availability of vaccines,” a statement issued by the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 said.
The nationwide curfew imposed from midnight to 04:00 am has been lifted,” it read, and an “advisory limiting Nigerians to essential travels only, has been lifted.”
Civil servants should go back to their offices, the government added, where they are recommended to show proof of vaccination or a “PCR test of not more than 48hrs”.
