Contrary to the initial plan of imposing a dusk to dawn curfew in Lagos state; to enable adequate prevention of the deadly Coronavirus spreading gradually in the state; the Lagos State Government says the imposed restriction of movement will no longer hold.
The state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu took to the official Twitter page to make the announcement.
He said that, “I have dropped the idea of imposing a curfew in the state meant to allow the fumigation exercise of public space.
Relying on experts advice, the Governor also said the disinfectant is non toxic; noting that the exercise has commenced.”
