The midnight to four in the morning movement restrictions put in place in 2019 to slow the spread of COVID 19 in the nation were officially withdrawn yesterday by the federal government. In a statement, Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-29, made the announcement. He said that the decision was made in response to a lower danger of the introduction of novel variations, a decrease in pandemic cases, the availability of vaccines, and an increase in the number of people in Nigeria and around the world who have received vaccinations. However, the SGF emphasised that any political events involving sizable crowds must rigorously abide with COVID 19 regulations established by the Independent National and Electoral Commission (INEC). While there are no restrictions on flying, he continued, people must follow any current laws.
