In other news, speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has on Sunday urged Nigerians not to relax in taking the necessary precautions against COVID-19.
Gbajabiamila made the call while speaking at the opening of a two-day training programme he organised for some health workers in Lagos States.
He said the COVID-19 pandemic was still very much around and posed existential threats, urging Nigerians to continue to observe all the prescribed COVID-19 protocols.
Gbajabiamila, who described as a cheering news the recent announcement that a COVID-19 vaccine had been developed, called on Nigerians not to stop observing the guidelines as the vaccine was not yet readily available.
