Kano state is among those states which has been facing COVID-19 challenges, whereby so many prominent men and others loss their lives due to COVID-19 in the state.

In order to curb the spread of the disease in the state, President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier imposed a 14 days lockdown across the state.

However, Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to ease the 14-day lockdown in the state.

The governor said this on Thursday while speaking during the inauguration of panel of experts to support the state task force technical committee, said it is important to relax the lockdown for a while in order to ease the hardship of the state residents, especially in the holy month of Ramadan.

He said, “We would engage the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to seek permission to relax the total lockdown imposed on Kano.

“We are making this appeal on behalf of our people who are presently running out of food items. We would love the Federal government to relax the lockdown for a period of time to enable people stock their homes, especially now that majority of us are fasting. It will also ease the economic hardship in the state.”
