Aliyu also made it clear that Nigeria is still in the middle of the spread of coronavirus.
“We relaxed the lockdown not because COVID-19 has gone, but to ensure the economy does not collapse.
“We would not sit back and allow public safety to be endangered by a few people,” he said.

A total of 5,967 patients have been discharged, while 469 are dead.
