In order to ensure that the FCT does not witness an escalation in the number of #COVID19 positive cases and prevent a public health emergency, the Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA has resolved on the following new measures to enforce the cessation of movement and ensure its compliance by residents;
Market operational days are henceforth reduced to two days in a week namely Wednesdays and Saturdays only; Residents should patronize only neighborhood markets as movement from one district to the other now constitutes a violation of the lockdown;
Mobile courts will now be activated to try all violators of the directive on the cessation of movement across the FCT; Motorcycles (Okada) are henceforth barred from operating anywhere in Kubwa and Dutse Alhaji during the lockdown;
The FCTA will step up sensitization efforts especially in the rural communities and enjoins Area Council, Chairmen, traditional rulers and community leaders to actively engage in sensitizing the populace on the dangers of #COVID19
The FCTA remains deeply committed to ensuring that the #COVID19 pandemic remains controlled in the FCT and seeks the cooperation of all residents in curtailing its spread especially into our rural and suburban communities.
