Nigerian governors have unanimously agreed to the implementation of a two-week inter-state lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus from state to state.
In a teleconference meeting on Wednesday, the Nigerian Governors Forum also called for the decentralization of covid-19 response to curb the spread of the virus.
The governors also resolved to set up Covid-19 committees at the regional level, headed by their state commissioners of health, to strengthen the coordinated implementation of necessary public health recommendations across states.
