Nigeria began easing
restrictions on Monday, May 4 in its capital Abuja and in Lagos, its largest
city, marking the reopening of Africa’s biggest economy after more than four
weeks of lockdown. Nigeria has recorded 2,802 confirmed cases of the new
coronavirus and 93 deaths since recording its first case at the end of
February, a much lower toll than those seen in COVID-19 hotspots in Europe and
the United States. The government has said a stay-at-home order in place since
March 30 in Abuja and the states of Lagos and Ogun will be lifted gradually
over a six-week period. The regions will now come in line with the rest of the
country where the restrictions in force were less strict and include an
overnight curfew, mandatory face masks in public and a ban on non-essential
interstate travel. “We must do all we can to stop the spread of #COVID19 so we
must all take responsibility and do what is necessary to remain safe,” said
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a tweet, hours before restrictions
were eased. On Monday morning, the usually frenetic streets of the coastal
megacity Lagos, largely empty during the lockdown, were busy with cars, buses
and motorised tricycle taxis. Faced with morning rain, people in the city’s
Iyana Oworo district huddled under a bridge, ignoring social distancing rules,
but most people wore masks. Businesses have been allowed to reopen provided
they have decontaminated their offices, can enable social distancing and offer
hand sanitizer and hand washing. Schools and places of worship remain closed,
restaurants can only operate on a takeaway basis, and all cultural events have
been cancelled.
