    Lagos is over populated unlike cross river State and the case is already increasing in Lagos State. So I don’t see how possible that can be coupled with the fact that lagosian are not law abiding citizen and how will they achieve the sharing of the face mask to everyone when they couldn’t achieve sharing of common food to citizen.

      I appeal the relaxing of the lockdown should be partial and not total due to the population and attitude of lagosians. Secondly, we’re only hearing of palliatives but seeing nor benefiting from from it.

    Mr, the lockdown should be relax not total cancellation because lagosians need to be more sensitised.

    The wearing of face masks is a welcome idea but face masks are said to be disposable items at regular intervals and my people will not dispose of the masks after several wear and wash usage. Kindly tell my people about the impending danger of continuous usage of the masks without replacement at regular intervals.

    So, where did he talk about ending lockdown in this your report. You are not different from impostors carrying fake news. Poor reportage!

    This notion of allowing a break from lockdown is deadly. The increase in infection of Covid 19 is an indication that Lagos is yet to peak. Impoverished areas are still not in full comprehension of what the pandemic is about and yet the state is considering the notion of lifting lockdown which is not enforced enough. Ve a rethink by analysing the USA pattern! Please increase distribution of palliatives and random testing prior to any economical consideration.

      Lagosians are law abiding people if only the government do the needful, you lock people down in their homes without means of survival and you expect them to stay and do nothing @kummy?
      If you are financially buoyant, does it mean everyone is financially buoyant? How many people have you reach out to since the beginning of this lockdown?, you dare say lagosians are not law abiding, will they eat sticks or grass.(hiss)

    the gov must learn other international state how they are handling the covid19 pandemic,not locking up resident without state support that’s so poor from a state like Lagos.
