Coronavirus: Ganduje relaxes lockdown for Residents to Shop for Ramadan
Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje has given an order to relax the lockdown in the State from 6am to 12pm for Thursday alone to enable residents shop for the Ramadan celebration despite the upsurge of Covid-19 cases in the state.
This was announced at a press conference on Wednesday by the deputy governor, Nasiru Gawuna, where he explained that the decision was to allow citizens stockpile foodstuff and other items in preparation for the Ramadan period.
