Lagos,

We are at a critical point in the management of the #COVID19 pandemic in our state and every resident needs to #TakeResponsibility for their health and wellbeing.
As citizens, we have a great burden upon us, to behave responsibly. These times demand a lot from us, in terms of actions and behaviours that may not be comfortable. It is difficult to adjust to the changes, but adjust, we must.
As a government elected to uphold the security of its citizens, which includes health security, we will not hesitate to review the terms of #EasingTheLockdown if we do not see an improvement in the adherence to our public health guidelines over the next couple of days.

The patients, 31 from the Mainland Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba,...
... 19 from the Ibeju-Lekki and 10 from Eti-Osa Isolation Centres were discharged having fully recovered and tested negative in two consecutive readings.

With this, the number of #COVID19 confirmed cases that have been successfully managed and discharged in Lagos is now 321.
It is important that we do the right things at this time.

#EasingTheLockdown is not a reason for us to rush out and eschew all safety guidelines. We must all play our part and take responsibility.

Most people advocating against the #EasingTheLockdown are either drawing money from the public purse, work with a multinational or company that offers essential services. Can we at least consider over 100 million Nigerians.

Even as we begin #EasingTheLockdown, it will not be business as usual so we are unveiling a whistle blowing channel to report organisations that flout the new directives. Whistleblowers will be guaranteed full protection and their identities would be kept strictly confidential. Image
We are also inaugurating a committee with representatives from NURTW, RTEAN, Private Transport Operators, Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, Manufacturing Association of Nigeria(MAN) and all the Lagos state ministries responsible.

#EasingTheLockdown
This committee will be charged with the responsibility of communicating, to their members, the framework on the controlled easing of the lockdown so that we can all fully understand what is expected from us.
