House of Reps suspends plenary for two weeks over coronavirus

The House of Representatives has resolved to proceed on a two weeks break to avert the spread of Coronavirus.

Nigeria recorded its first case of coronavirus after an Italian national who arrived Lagos from Milan tested positive to the virus, the Federal Ministry of Health said last Thursday.

Several others who were suspected to have had contact with the Italian have been quarantined.

Rep. Ndudi Elumelu proposed an amendment to the prayers of the motion calling on the House to suspend plenary for 2 weeks in order to oversee what is being done to contain the coronavirus nationwide. The amendment was adopted.
