“If we don’t behave ourselves, the lockdown will be extended” Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed

Lai Mohammed the Minister of Information and Culture, has revealed a possible extension of the lockdown imposed by the Federal Government.

President Muhammadu Buhari imposed a lockdown to help as a precautionary step against the deadly Coronavirus outbreak.

In a statement by the Minister of Information, the lockdown can be extended depending on several factors.

Speaking about the lockdown Lai Mohammed said; “If we don’t behave ourselves, there is a likelihood that the lockdown will be extended, but if we behave ourselves, there might not be an extension and I hope we do so.

“If we stay at home for two weeks and we are doing everything we are supposed to do, we should be able to effectively contain the disease.

“Therefore, my appeal to Nigerians is that they should obey the directive on social distancing, personal hygiene and shun gatherings; after two weeks, we will resume our normal life.

“But if they think it is a joke, then we may have to stay at home more than the two weeks.”
