Governor Sanwo-Olu storms Covid-19 Isolation Centre, Kits Up to Inspect facility

The Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu led a team of government officials on Sunday to the Infectious Disease Control Centre, in Yaba for an on the spot assessment of the facility.

The governor after assessing the facility assured Lagosians that his government is in full support of the operations of the Disease Management team.

He also enjoined the media to support and ensure that effective awareness is created about the deadly coronavirus.

He also lamented that it was unfortunate that some Nigerians were taking advantage of the situation to extort others by hiking the prices of protectives like sanitizers, face masks and hand gloves.

”It is very unfortunate that people- Nigerians and our brothers and sisters are taking advantage of a very unfortunate incident.

”It is condemnable, this is not a means to enrich yourself, it is really very unfortunate and we need to speak to ourselves.

”People are just abusing a rare opportunity. This is not something that is laughable, it is not something that anybody wishes for.

”In the event that people have it, you are hoarding it or you are selling at 500 to 600 percent over and above what you used to sell it three days ago, I think it is unacceptable.

”I think people should ask their conscience what kind of life, what kind of people are we? We should be our brothers’ keeper,” the governor said.

He urged Lagosians and Nigerians, in general, to continue to ensure both personal and environmental hygiene.

According to him, it is about time people take all of these things very seriously and ensure it becomes part of their life.

”This is so that it is not when we have an incident like this crisis, that we will begin to learn how to wash our hands, how to keep it safe, secure environment, and how to live healthily.

”People that have developed immunity against these things are people that have continued to live well, eat well and live in a very safe and secure environment,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu urged residents to remain calm, as the government would continue to do everything that was expected- both humans and resources that were required, to tackle Coronavirus.
