The guidelines showed that any person that contravenes provisions of the regulations risked a fine or a term of six months imprisonment or both in accordance with Section 5 of the Quarantine Act.
To make the directive work, Buhari directed the Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, and other relevant local government, state and federal governments’ agencies to enforce the regulations.
He also warned that any officer that failed, neglected, or refused to enforce the provisions of the regulations would be subjected to disciplinary actions.
