Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has called for a total lock down of the country to prevent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Since the disease was first detected in December 2019, in China, several cities have had to shut down activities and limit movement of its citizens to contain its spread.
The Federal Government and many states in the country had similarly started restricting movements and shutting down social and economic activities to prevent an outbreak.

However, Mrs. Buhari believes this was not enough as some people still have to work outside the home and could infect others.
Her words, “It is commendable that state governors have closed down schools. However, this could be counterproductive if parents are still going to work. We should not isolate students and expose their parents. Let us remember that they will meet at home. #TotalLockDown #StayAtHome,” she tweeted to her over 500,000 followers early, on Monday, March 23, 2020.
Nigeria has recorded a total of 35 confirmed cases in six states – Lagos (24), FCT (6), Ogun (2), Oyo (1), Ekiti (1), and Edo (1).
