“The Standing Committee commended the people of Kaduna State for their sacrifice and cooperation in enduring Quarantine Orders that are designed to protect citizens from Covid-19, prevent the spread of the virus from other states and avert the nightmare of community transmission,” the statement continued.

The statement also explained that the robust enforcement of border lockdowns will complement the inconveniences being endured by Kaduna State residents.

This will eliminate both willful and inadvertent spread of Covid-19 by persons crossing state lines in breach of Kaduna State Quarantine Orders and the prohibition of interstate travel by the Federal Government,” said.

“Citizens are encouraged to report anyone who sneaks into the state so that health officials can take swift action”.
