 Lagos begins enforcement of Covid-19 protocols

By Modupe Shodeinde

The Lagos State Government has informed residents that the enforcement of Covid-19 protocols has now begun.

Citizens were urged to be vigilant and take responsibility for their safety.

The Commissionerfor Information, Gbenga Omotoso, said environmental officers have been disbursed to monitor both social and religious gathering in the state.

He said, “Enforcement is on. Some clubs were shut down last weekend. Event centres are being monitored and motorcyclists are being grabbed for carrying passengers and making nonsense of the social distancing regulation.

“The state Safety Commission has been saddled with the responsibility of visiting event centres to ensure compliance with the established guidelines, to stop the virus from spreading.

“Where there is evidence of a lack of compliance at any event centre, it will be shut down immediately, as it happened with Cabana night club at the weekend.

“Security agents have also been mandated to ensure full enforcement of the COVID-19 protocol without; exception as no one will be deemed to be above the law.”
