The Ekiti State Government has extended the COVID-19 lockdown and a curfew placed on movement in the state by two weeks.
Governor Kayode Fayemi gave the order according to a statement issued on Monday by the Secretary to the State Government, Biodun Oyebanji. The governor however noted that the renewed lockdown will only be relaxed on Thursdays to enable people restock their houses between the hours of six in the morning and two in the afternoon.While acknowledging similar efforts by the Federal government and neighbouring states in curbing the spread of COVID 19, Governor Fayemi said the extension is deliberately planned.
He also announced the compulsory wearing of facemasks in public places, promising to make the masks available for those on essential duties while improving on the current palliative efforts. With the extension, existing restrictions remain in force alongside the dusk to dawn curfew till April 27 when the order will officially expire.
Lol😁
You just dey your end dey give order, good governance should reflect on the citizens of a state and not it's leaders.
Your mate in Cross River state kfayemi is distributing free face mask and food items to his citizens. You order a lockdown without food. You are wicked sir. You are mean! Your people will not forgive you for this wickedness
This governor kfayemi is the dumbest and most mean governor I have ever seen in Nigeria. How do you quarantine people for 28days without food. And you flood the streets and major roads in Ekiti with soldiers to maltreat and extort money from people.
How can he use the word order .Our leaders are just impossible. You order them to wear what they can't buy.Are you reasonable
Ahh! Where is Laureate?
Why should Ekiti extend lockdown when there's no active case ? The two established cases has treated and discharged. Do we just copy n paste what other states are doing ?
We are not ready yet, where can we get the facemask ? Or are you distributing it ? This country sha...PayUsPalliativeViaBvn
Is it a face mask or a nose mask?
U guys re biased in ur services and not reporting important issues..pls bring to light Pple DAT re suffering from attacks from hoodlums at night ....we don't sleep..human lives are involved...enough of all dis recovery and mask issues
You’re ordering citizens to wear mask wey you no give them the money? Person wey never chop go get money for face mask You people are so unbelievable
Did he buy face mask and distribute?
Did you provide facemasks for us before ordering us to wear facemasks Are you not aware the price of facemasks had gone high and out of our reach...
Some doctors are discouraging facemask while some politicians are encouraging facemask. How much dem pay you to kill your people. AKWA IBOM is mass producing facemask for her people.
For that little town wey no get airport or train, even sea port no Dey ... nahwa ooooh
Everything na order ppl wey no see food chop na em go buy face mask, even if they buy one will they be able to buy for 14days
Did u give them money for it?
Facemasks!!!!! Argh!! People need food you are talking about mask sir, well even Mr president forgot to talk about the welfarism of his citizens well enough, what should be expected of a governor
Please the people in Ekiti state are really suffering of hunger. H.E Dr. John Kayode Fayemi should find a means to curb this situation on ground. kfayemi bisifayemi ekitistategov NansAxis
Please don't buy up surgical masks to avoid causing scarcity of it for the health workers.
Common facemasks our leaders cannot provide.. shame on u all Nigeria leaders
Yes. Go to the tree behind your backyards are pluck some face masks. Stupid government.
I guess somebody among them just open face masks factory... time to make cool cash🥳 you’re doing well bros👌
I'm not sure this Governor is aware of the cost of a single face mask.
Ekiti government should provide face mask to her people, this will go a long way to reduce the hardships in a way. The Govt should also encourage local production of face mask.
While dis is a good development to curb the virus in Ekiti state. This is bring to your attention that malaria kills more in Ekiti state than any state in Nigeria. The PHC system in the state is dead. ekitistategov kfayemi needs to help refurbish these PHCs. TrackaNG
May God help us in ekiti state
And what provision have they make for the face mask
These mask are made from China and covid19 is also made in China. Please use made in Nigeria mask.
Face asks not necessary unless you're ill, taking care of the sick, advised by medical personnel or local government. Note that as many more people seek to use masks we create scarcity and expose more health care workers who need the masks more. Meaning the spread continues.
