Lagos State Government has warned that club centres would
not be allowed to open and operate without getting safety compliance
certificates.
While easing lockdown on social club houses, the state
government said it has started physical verification and issuance of safety
compliance certificates to social clubs and centres in the State.
Speaking on the exercise, the Director-General, Lagos State
Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola, commended the level of compliance with
stipulated safety guidelines by most of the clubs visited, adding that it was
vital to ensure that all issued directives, especially on physical distancing
and proper hygiene, are fully embraced by those facilities.
He declared that the Commission has started issuing
provisional Safety Compliance Certificates to some social clubs that have
registered and had their locations verified, urging business owners who are yet
to comply with the ‘Register-to-Open’ policy to do so.
“It will be in the best interest of all Social, Event and
Betting Centres, Bars, Night Clubs, Gaming Arcades, Casinos and all the
businesses captured under the ‘Register-to-Open’ initiative to do so in earnest,
in order to allow the verification process to take place,” Mojola said.
The Director-General, however, sounded a note of warning
that centres, whose registration and verification have been completed, are not
allowed to open until an announcement is made by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on
the effective date for opening social centres.
While maintaining that the only way to flatten the curve of
COVID-19 pandemic in the State is through collective efforts with all
stakeholders, Mojola enjoined all business owners in Lagos to cooperate with
the State Government in ensuring that all safety guidelines are strictly
adhered to.
Some of the social clubs/centres already visited by the
Safety Commission team included Ikoyi Club, Lagos Motor Boat Club, Lagos Polo
Club, Ikeja Country Club, Lagos Jetski Club, Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Yoruba
Tennis Club and Ikeja Golf Club, amongst others.
