“How Will Curfew Work In Lagos Traffic?”, Nigerians Ask President Buhari After Speech
[ad_1]
The extension of the lockdown by President Muhammadu Buhari in Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory until May 4 when a dusk-to-dawn curfew will take effect in all three cities is fuelling concerns by Nigerians.
Buhari had in his Monday national address said that a dusk-to-dawn curfew will take effect from May 4 as a way of further curtailing the spread of Coronavirus.
“There will be an overnight curfew from 8pm to 6am. This means all movements will be prohibited during this period except for essential services,” he said.
The curfew order by President Buhari has attracted criticism from Lagosians with many asking how the curfew would be effective in the city.

Some Nigerians also said that the police would seize the opportunity to extort Nigerians while some did not see any reason how the curfew would contain the spread of the virus.
Expressing thoughts on the issue, @DrOlufunmilayo tweeted, “People will go to work till 6pm in Lagos. They will be in traffic till 11pm. Some days, some are even in traffic till midnight. Please this is just an honest question: How would the 8pm Buhari curfew work in Lagos? How exactly? Are there going to be special buses? Or special routes?”

Please Mr president hope you will review the time frame for Lagos because many of us leave home before 6am and don't get home till around 10am (due to traffic).
Except you're giving @PoliceNG free license to start extorting citizens from May 4th.

My Fellow Nigerians Buhari has extended the lockdown till 4th of May
There'll be a curfew from 8pm-6am,
because the Covid19 will be caged during the dayThere'll be no interstate movement,
because Corona sometimes like to chill by the border.Nose mask and InshaAllah for now

Obviously we can now see the different between a country governed by good leadership and does governed by our so called leaders.. So you expect all Lagosians to move around from 6am and return home before 8pm, I laugh in Spanish #Bubu #Buhari #4th of may

This is a serious issue which i think the president advisers should look into to avoid a huge calamity. Lagos state is not like other state
