The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has endorsed the implementation of a two-week inter-state lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus from state to state.
In a teleconference meeting on Wednesday, the Nigerian Governors Forum also called for the decentralization of covid-19 response to curb the spread of the virus.
Chairman of NGF and Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, who disclosed this after its teleconference meeting, maintained that only essential services would be permitted during the period.
The governors also resolved to set up Covid-19 committees at the regional level, headed by their state commissioners of health, to strengthen the coordinated implementation of necessary public health recommendations across states.
