Recall that Eons Intelligence reported on Tuesday that the Jigawa and Kaduna State Government ordered the immediate shutdown of all schools due to the rising cases of Coronavirus.


Multiple reports confirm that the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Saturday went into isolation following reported cases of positive COVID-19 cases recorded by persons close to him.


Governor El-Rufai had earlier warned residents that he would impose another lockdown if the number of cases keeps rising.


The Federal Government alerted all Isolation centres to be ready for reopening.
