Good people of Lagos,

I have more great news from our isolation facilities. 16 persons; 14 males and 2 females including 3 foreigners - 1 British, 1 Chinese and 1 Polish citizen have been discharged to join the society.
The patients; 14 from IDH, Yaba and 2 from Onikan Isolation centre have fully recovered and tested negative twice consecutively to #COVID19.

This brings the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from our facilities to 85.
As our front line health workers record successes in the battle against #COVID19, we are duty bound as citizens to break the chain of transmission of the infection by staying safe at home, practicing social distancing and adopting the highest possible personal hygiene.
We will continue to do our best as Government to cushion the effect of this lockdown by re-energizing our welfare package. Please keep faith with us as we work to win this battle together.

Thank you for your continued perseverance and patience.

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.

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.
