The President of the federal republic of Nigeria in his recent speech announced there will be an extension on the lock-down for two more weeks in Lagos, Abuja and Ogun states as against the covid-19 pandemic.


The president in his speech stated that the reason for the extension was due to the increasing numbers of positive cases in the states.
