The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has told
residents to adhere strictly to the safety protocols in the state.
This comes after Lagos was placed on red alert along with
the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and five other states by the Federal
Government.
The Delta variant of COVID-19 has been confirmed in Nigeria
amid the rising number of infections and hospitalization in the country.
Sanwo-Olu, speaking at the presentation of the party flag to
all the chairmanship candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the
forthcoming Local Government Elections on July 24, 2021, said: “Government will
continue to do its best to manage the situation but citizens must play their
own part by adhering strictly to the protocol.
“We are monitoring the positivity rate; we are doing two
things, we don’t want to unnecessarily scare people and at the same time,
ensure that we are very proactive.
“On a daily basis, we are checking the rate of positivity
and we are managing it. But that having been said, everybody is expected to act
responsibly, to protect themselves and their families. And that is why as a
responsible government, we tell our people the truth and being transparent.
“Where we are now; we are communicating efficiently to our
citizens, please where you do not need to gather, please don’t gather. Where
you cannot avoid unnecessary non-COVID-19 compliance, don’t go there.
“If you want to go out please wear your face mask, please
adhere strictly to protocol.
“We are doing
everything to ensure that we flatten the curve.
“We have open isolation centers and the Federal Government
has assured us that by the end of August, we are going to get another batch of
vaccine and we will start rolling out the vaccination exercise again.”
