Nigeria's Government Begins Lifting Coronavirus Restrictions in the Capital Abuja

The streets of Nigeria’s capital Abuja returned to life on Monday as Africa’s biggest economy began reopening its major cities after more than four weeks of lockdown to limit the spread of coronavirus.

Locals seemed to be largely ignoring social distancing guidelines, which remain in place, with crowds of dozens gathered in small spaces as well as long and tightly packed queues for ATM machines.

The Nigerian government had put a stay-at-home order in place on March 30th in Abuja as well as in the states of Lagos and Ogun, this order will be gradually lifted over the space of six weeks.
