The Federal Government of Nigeria, has urged Nigerians to ignore news of fresh lockdown been peddled on social media platforms.
National Coordinator of the PTF, Dr Sani Aliyu, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
He said there is no iota of Truth in the message, as the government has not declared a fresh lockdown in the country.
“We are aware of a fake message on WhatsApp that we’ve declared a lockdown in the country. This is absolutely not true. I call on the Nigerian public to please ignore this message and continue with normal activities,” he said.
Aliyu said the implication of a fresh lockdown is not unknown to government and, therefore, urged Nigerians to obey all COVID-19 guidelines to drastically reduce its spread.
