Lockdown Extension: “Credit everyone’s account even if it’s N10k” – Toke Makinwa tells FG

Media personality, Toke Makinwa has joined other Nigerians in reacting to the lockdown extension in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja.

The author and self-acclaimed ‘baby girl’ suggested that the federal government credits the accounts of Citizens of the country with at least N10,000 to cushion the economic effect of the extension.

Reacting via her Twitter, she wrote,

Lock down, lock down the least you can do is credit everyone’s account, even if it’s 10k. BVN is available yet you want those who have resorted to being their own government die of hunger? 14 days more is about to bite even harder

Following head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision for a two weeks extension on the lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun states due to the Coronavirus pandemic on Monday evening, Nigerians have have mixed feelings towards the development.

While some are in total support of the extension and impressed with the strategy the President is implementing, others are against it.
