On April 11, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari urged those in Nigeria to continue observing restrictions on movement. On March 30, Nigeria implemented a 14-day restriction on movement in Lagos, the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), and Ogun State, which has been extended until 27 April. The order calls for all people in these areas to stay indoors. Please continue to shelter in place. If and when the Government of Nigeria issues another update to this order, we will communicate the details.
