Governors of the 36 states of the federation under the aegis of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) have asked the National Assembly to halt all activities in relation to the controversial Control of Infectious Diseases Bill, 2020.

The Governors, at the 8th COVID-19 teleconference of the Forum held on Wednesday, expressed discomfort that they were not consulted on the Bill despite being at the forefront of efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
