Malam Nasir @elrufai will make a broadcast to the people of Kaduna State by 6pm today.
It is fitting and proper that I begin this address by paying tribute to the good people of Kaduna State. Amidst considerable uncertainty created by the arrival of a new virus, the people have understood and supported the firm measures the state government took to protect them...
KDSG has done its best to ensure that Covid-19 has not resulted in mass sickness and deaths. We again apologise for the inconvenience suffered by all during the 75 days of partial lockdown.
The next step of staying safe while pursuing socio-economic activities is strictly in the hands of each individual.
From tomorrow, Wednesday, 10 June 2020, the Quarantine Order is amended to permit a significant reopening of the state. The restriction of intra-state movement is lifted, subject to a night-time curfew of 8pm to 5am.
Subject to compliance with safe reopening protocols, businesses can reopen, with the provision of thermometers for temperature checks, sanitizers or handwashing equipment and physical distancing measures within all facilities. Working hours will be 9am to 3pm daily.
Church services are allowed only on Sundays and Mosques are allowed to conduct only Friday Jumat services, for the time being, subject to compliance with the safety stipulations in the guidelines.
Supermarkets and providers of personal services such as hair dressing and barbing salons can reopen;
Hotels can fully open, but with their restaurants and bars offering only room service. Restaurants may all reopen after decontamination, but are still restricted to takeaways

At this stage of Covid-19 containment, it is still considered unsafe for markets and schools to reopen, and we will keep engaging with the relevant stakeholders on the matter, to determine the appropriate timing and conditions precedent.
Public servants will be summoned back to work in phases to be announced by the Head of Service.
Let us protect each other from Covid-19 by observing health guidelines. As we open up, let us make it a safe moment by committing to personal responsibility. Let us open up & support the pursuit of livelihoods without risking widespread infection, illnesses and death.
You have done it for more than ten weeks under partial lockdown. Let us show that we can stay safe in relaxed conditions.
