The Federal Government of Nigeria has extended phase three of eased COVID-19 lockdown by one month.

Mouthpiece NGR understands that the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 announced this on Monday, January 25, 2021.

The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, at the weekly briefing of the task force in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, said: “The PTF is improving on the International Travel Portal to minimise the challenges passengers keep encountering.

“Similarly, it is reviewing the guidelines on the implementation of phase three of the eased lockdown which is due to expire today.

“In view of the fact that our numbers are not abating, all extant measures prescribed in these guidelines are (subject to some modifications) extended by a period of one month with effect from Tuesday, January 26, 2020,” the PTF Chairman said on the extended lockdown.
