Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari has devised plans to improve the well being of Nigerians throughout the period of lockdown associated with the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking with NTA after a meeting the president, Osinbajo said Buhari is concerned about the welfare of Nigerians amid the lockdown in some states.
He said the federal government is working on stabilising the economy, and to provide palliatives for Nigerians to cushion the effect of staying at home.
“What we are concerned about is how to ensure that the economy remains stable, that jobs are protected and if possible, more jobs are created,” he said.
“We are very concerned about that and the President has expressed very serious concerns about the problems that may be associated with the lockdown.
“Many of our people work for a daily wage, they have to go out to work, so we have to think in terms of how to ensure that we are able to give them some succour during the period when they are not able to work.
“Some of those issues are the issues Mr President wanted me to discuss fully with him. Of course, we have the Economic Sustainability Committee and shortly we are going to submit a full report to Mr President on our thoughts and ideas.
“Mr President asked me to meet with him in particular to resolve some of the pressing issues around COVID-19 and also around the economic problems that we are seeing already.”
KanyiDaily had reported that Nigeria currently have 305 cases of coronavirus. While 58 patients have recovered, seven persons have died from the disease.

One will think at this period of pandemic Timi Frank will havr the fear of God and put politics aside amd pray along with Nigerians amd the world at large so this plague eating up the world's economy will go back to the pit pf hell where it came from.
Better u keep quiet than make urself look like an Antichrist bcos buhari government will come n go and the likes of timi who is supposed to be a role model and a patriotic Nigeria is busy joining the likes of FFK and co to prove otherwise.
Be reminded that buhari did not introduce corruption on Nigeria otherwose Efcc and ICPC would not have been established years back. This anticorrupt body was introduced in the days of Obj when PDP was the majority party and ruled over many states and ww saw him corruption since then have been fighting back. It dough Jonathan and almost drag it into it and now buhari.
Be reminded me Timi frank that buhari election amd his becoming out president is heaven ordain and the likes of u can n will never bcome president because you lack the.quality and vision to lead bcis u speak when u r not suppose to speak and the fire u think u r spewing from your mouth especially to God's annoited will be d same to consume u.
Leave buhari alone and aa a Christian I u harbour un necessary hatred in ur heart before God fir ur fellow human being that is worst than witchcraft.
We choose to vote for buhari and God chose to allow him for the second time qnd of people like u will stop distracting the system things will b better for the nation.
Note ans i repeat go back to history of thia nation democracy and tell.me was by the one that created corruption if no then what is ur problem.with him. Can't u b patriotic enough to also see how u can help contribute your quota to nation building especially now that Corona virus is d enemy all.nation is trying to defeat.
I pray u have change of heart and look for a doing as part of ur contribution to nation building
Thank u and God bless the federal republic of Nigeria
