Today, I announced more measures to cushion the effect of the extended lockdown in Lagos.

We have begun the distribution of relief items to 250,000 vulnerable residents and in addition to this, 100,000 youths will be provided one meal per day across LCDAs via our food kitchens.
We are also starting a conditional cash transfer to 250,000 people as part of our relief package while repayment on state facilitated loans to SMEs & MSMEs through LSETF will have a moratorium of 3 months to help ease the effect of the lockdown for businesses and their employees
To ensure we track and eliminate the risk of a spread of #COVID19, officials of @LSMOH will be visiting our homes to obtain information on travel and health history of Lagosians and I implore you all to cooperate with them.
@followlastma and VIO will also release all impounded vehicles for minor offences from March 1. All these will be done to reduce the impact of the lockdown on residents of the state.

This period demands a bit of sacrifice from us all. Let us join hands to defeat #COVID19.

Dear Lagosians, yesterday H.E Pres. @MBuhari announced a 2 weeks extension of the lockdown. This was a tough decision but like we have seen in countries that couldn't stop the spread of #COVID19, the effects have been catastrophic. My
biggest focus now is security and welfare.
On security, there have been reports of pockets of insecurity across different areas and intelligence has shown a combination of exploitation by criminal elements. The Police have been responsive but in the last 24 hours we have worked to increase surveillance and response time.
On welfare, the second half of the first phase of our reformed #LagosFoodRelief distribution which is targeted at the vulnerable is on course. The federal government's conditional cash transfer has also begun to help reduce the burden and we are working on doing more.

Lagos will take care of its health workers. Thank you for always being ready, hardworking & passionate as we fight #COVID19 and other medical conditions.

Thank you for your sacrifice even during #Easter that allows other residents to stay safely at home.

We appreciate you.
Our plan for healthcare in Lagos will touch every level from infrastructure to welfare to capacity development, and working with @ProfAkinAbayomi, we will continue to improve and reach new levels.
I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to every health worker in Lagos. You are all heroes and I can't thank you enough.

We will get through this, and we will learn the lessons from #COVID19 so we are more resilient in the future.

Dear Lagosians,

I bring you more good news from our Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba. Today, 7 more patients; 3 females and 4 males were discharged to reconnect with the community after a full recovery and having tested negative twice consecutively for #COVID19
This brings to 46, the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from our Yaba facility.

So far, we have had 100 percent recovery from the #COVID19 cases we have admitted and managed at our isolation facilities.
While we celebrate our successes, let us note that #SocialDistancing is important & non negotiable in the war against #COVID19.

Stay at home, observe good personal hygiene and adhere strictly to advice from our health experts.

Together, a #COVID19 free Lagos is possible.
