As part of efforts to limits the spread of dreaded Coronavirus pandemic, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Sanwo-Olu has orders the closure of all markets and stores in Lagos State except markets that sell food.
The governor in a press briefing on Tuesday said: “It is not a total lockdown, we still want people on essential services to go about their normal activities.
“We are trying to de-centralize markets in Lagos.
This is why we want to use some of our closed schools as markets, so people can buy food and medicine without going a long distance.
“It is only when you are alive that you can talk about economics and finance.”
