Buhari: to give a broadcast today

President Muhammadu Buhari will address the nation today, his third broadcast since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The time is yet to be confirmed by Aso Rock.

Aliyu Sani, the National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 disclosed this on Sunday.

He spoke as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

In the broadcast, Buhari is expected to give an update on the Coronavirus pandemic.

He would also announce to Nigerians whether the country would go ahead with the second phase of the easing of the lockdown.

The president in late March imposed a lockdown on Lagos, Ogun and Abuja FCT.

He also imposed a lockdown on Kano in April after reports of a spike in coronavirus cases.

Since the gradual easing of the lockdown kicked off on May 4, Nigeria has recorded sharp rise in cases of Coronavirus.

On Sunday, 338 cases were reported by the NCDC.

Lagos, the epicentre of the virus accounted for 177 cases.
