Gov Ganduje

As Nigeria battles the secondwave of the coronavirus, the government of Kano State has extended its ban on activities on clubs, street parties, and other large social gatherings.

The state commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, said in a statement on Thursday that all the restrictions have to be enforced “because the safety of our people and their welfare are priorities that cannot be toiled with.”

He said the government would continue to engage all the stakeholders to sensitise the populace on the need to maintain social distancing and collective effort to combat this pandemic.

The commissioner pointed out that security agents have been mandated to ensure full compliance without exception.
