The presidential Task Force (PTF) on Covid 19 says that the interstate road lockdown and the airport closure will reopen after meeting the necessary guidelines.
Dr Sani Aliyu, coordinator PTF said this at the PTF daily news conference on Monday in Abuja. According to him, "we cannot operate the flight and keep the road closed."
He disclosed that the Minister of Aviation, Sen Hadi Sirika had given the PTF strict guidelines that would be adopted in reopening the airways.
He added that the minister of transportation, Sen Gbemisola Saraki was also currently working with the National union of Road Transport workers (NURTW) toward reopening interstate roads.
Aliyu said that as soon as the PTF was sure of people's safety, the road would be reopened.
He blamed the surge in the number of cases over Covid 19 on lack of effective compliance in the last three months, adding that the PTF would continue to sensitize the public.
He said that for the country to get out of Covid 19, there was need to abide to the rules despite the inconveniences and also adopt behavioural change.
