According to the chairman of the PTF, Boss Mustapha, the public should desist from large gatherings under whatever guise.

“Gatherings are still not open of any form, we must avoid it either driving, shows, rallies of whatever categories, be responsible. Lifted restriction does not mean carelessness and that life is normal. Yes, there is a normal – but it is a new normal.” he said.

Contributing, Dr. Chike Ihekweazu, Director General for the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), expressed displeasure at Naira Marley’s concert which took place on Saturday night at Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja.

He expressed displeasure at the fact that Nigerians attended and enjoyed the concert without thinking twice about the health implications on themselves and their loved ones.

We must discourage ourselves from attending mass gatherings. The mass gathering that happened in Abuja that has been all over the media, there were people there – Nigerians that looked themselves in the eyes and said nothing and celebrated each other for being there. Not a single person stood up and said in the context of what is happening and for the sake of my parents at home, let’s stop this concert.

“Yes, there will be a lot of discussions about the mall, about the regulations, about the flight, and you’ll hear some of them but for me, the most disturbing thing is the people that attended and said nothing and enjoyed the event. The health of each of us is dependent on the actions that each of us takes over the next few months.” he said.
