Federal Government Said imposing new COVID-19 lockdown may cause economic and social implications.
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Monday, said the economic and social implications may make it difficult for the Federal Government to impose another lockdown in the country.
Lai Mohammed, who addressed newsmen in Lagos, however, expressed dissatisfaction of the government on how Nigerians are not observing COVID-19 protocols, and urged Nigerians to adhere strictly to all the laid down protocols by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
