The Director General, National Space Research and DevelopmentAgency, Dr. Seidu Mohammed, has said that Nigeria will witness a partial or total solar eclipse on Sunday.
Mohammed, at a press briefing in Abuja, urged Nigerians not to panic over the course of the eclipse.
He said the eclipse will be seen across the country and in the West African sub-region.
Mohammed said, “Different cultures have different reactions to them. There is no course for alarm. There is no need to panic. It will not affect signal from the stationary satellites which means that GSM will continue to work and other things will be normal.
“Cities by cities will be reported in Nigeria, where the eclipse will be; partial eclipse or total eclipse. People should continue with their normal business. Because of partial rays, people should use their sun glasses.”
