Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has called on banks and markets in the state to strictly enforce orderliness in their premises while directing that elderly people must be given the priority to transact their businesses between 9am and 10.30am, after which other younger customers should be allowed to transact.

Sanwo-Olu made the call on Sunday after the state’s Security Council meeting which held at the State House in Marina.

The governor disclosed that officials of the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC) and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) would be visiting restaurants and companies to assess their level of readiness for reopening.

He added that the agencies would also be visiting places of worship to evaluate their level of preparedness, stressing that the social distancing and hygiene conditions would be fully considered in determining whether mosques and churches can re-open soon

He, therefore, urged businesses, religious houses and residents to maintain the status quo while the state works out modalities for full re-opening.
