The presidential task force on COVID-19 says bank branches
in Lagos, Ogun and the federal capital territory will be open to customers from
Monday, May 4.
Sani Aliyu, the national coordinator of the task force, said
banking halls would be open to customers between 8am and 2pm.
Sani said federal offices, food processing companies and
companies in the manufacturing and construction sectors would also be allowed
to open.
“For government offices, government staff will be allowed to
resume from the 4 of May but it will be based on specific grade levels and
specific days so that we can reduce the amount of congestion that we might have
in our government offices and we will be discussing further with state
governments to make sure that we have a common approach to this.
“Banks will be allowed to open but there will be a
restriction in the opening hours to between 8am to 2pm and together with all
the other preventive measures I have already mentioned.
“In addition to this, from the point of agriculture and
rural development, companies involved in food processing can commence
operation.
“In construction sites, the critical roads will be allowed
but waivers will be provided by state governments to enable movement.
“For the manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries, we will
encourage shift work and limiting staff to only 30 to 50% to maintain social
distancing and pharmacy shops may remain open overnight.”
He, however, reiterated that precautions like
self-distancing and the use of temperature monitors, hand hygiene be enforced
in these locations.
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, announced a gradual
and phased ease of lockdown restrictions in Lagos, Ogun and FCT to allow
economic activities to commence.
