The Nigerian Center for Disease Control has relaxed all the essential Covid-19 protocols including the compulsory use of face masks in public places and mass gatherings. The agency made this known in a public health report issued on Wednesday. It further revealed that reports on the progress of Covid-19 in Nigeria will now be released every two weeks instead of weekly. Speaking further, the Presidential Steering Committee on Covid-19 PSC said the use of face masks inside airport terminals by airport workers, passengers, and crew is no longer necessary. It, however, maintained that older persons aged 60 and above who are immuno-compromised are advised to continue the use of face masks.

Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media and Publicity, All Progressive Congress Presidential Campaign Council has assured Nigerians that the APC presidential flag bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not rushed out of the podium in Niger State, Minna today. Earlier, reports had been rife on social media claiming that the APC presidential candidate was rushed off the stage due to health concerns. Meanwhile, Onanuga has assured Nigerians and APC supporters that the Lagos former governor was humbled by the mammoth crowd that turned up for the rally that he had to address them briefly. He assured Nigerians that Tinubu is hale and hearty.

President Mohammadu Buhari has joined other African leaders in Washington DC, United States, for a summit aimed at bolstering the relationship between the United States and the African continent. Part of the issues to be addressed include the importance of the US-Africa diplomatic relationship and the need to increase cooperation on issues bordering the continents. The summit is the largest and most substantial after the 2014 summit. However, experts have speculated that the US aims to through the summit bolter its waning influence in Africa against the backdrop of China’s penetration into the black continent.

The council of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has filed a suit against the self-proclaimed factional leader of the same group, Simon Ekpa. The file alleged that Ekpa is being used by enemies of South Eastern Nigeria to destabilize the region and make it ungovernable. The suit was filed on December 12. Recall that last week, Simon Ekpa’s members enforced a five-day sit-at-home order in South East in which economic activities were grounded to a halt and six people were reportedly killed in Enugu and Imo States. IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu have since dissociated themselves from Ekpa, stating that his approach is anti-IPOB and anti-people.

Nigerians from all parts of the country have expressed their disappointment over what some have described as a lack of coordination in the collection of the Permanent Voters Cards PVCs at the INEC collection centers nationwide. Reports from all parts of the country have been divided, with voters in the Northern part having an almost seamless experience, whereas the experience in the South has been marred by lack of coordination on the part of INEC, fear of insecurity in South East, total rowdiness in the South West and favoritism in South-South. Stakeholders have therefore called on INEC to intensify efforts towards making the process seamless for voters.
