A group Coalition for A Better Nigeria, has said the country is seeing a spike in COVID-19 infections because of Nigerians’ nonchalant attitudes towards the pandemic.
Its National Coordinator Awa Bamiji said some Nigerians were violating government’s lockdown order and social distancing regulations because they do not understand the infectiousness of the virus.
“Today, several videos and messages have gone viral on social media condemning the government directive for our people to stay at home without enriching us, like the governments of the United States (U.S.A), United Kingdom (UK) and few other advanced countries.

“We are seeing members of the NURTW (National Union of Road Transport Workers) carrying passengers and plying interstate roads, as usual, regardless of stay-at-home directive of the governments while the policemen that are supposed to check them are busy with extortion and brutality on our roads, thereby giving room to breakdown of government order.”
