The President, accordingly, urged all citizens to, in line with the prescribed protocol, observe social distancing, use face masks, wash hands frequently and avoid overcrowding of public spaces, markets, shopping centres, offices and places of worship.
President Buhari also appealed to citizens to discourage all non-essential travels during the holiday season.
He wished everyone a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year ahead.
