Following Senate’s resolution, President Muhammadu Buhari will address the nation on the Coronavirus pandemic at the “appropriate” time, a senior government official said.

“When it is appropriate, Mr President will address the nation,” the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed told journalists in Abuja.

He, however, said the information Nigerians needed to hear from the President was already being dished out to them.
“But I think what you want to hear from Mr President are the kind of things we are telling you.”
The minister said while not out to pre-empt the president, he may not say anything new.
“This is not to preempt or second guess Mr President, I think he will do the needful,” Mohammed said.
