He said, “It is not a total lockdown, we still want people on essential services to go about their normal activities.

I think one of the major way to stop the spread of the covid-19 is to shut down all transportation system in 9the country and set a boundaries limit to all states as well...

It only God that will save us...

Jezzzz

i wish him speedy recovery .

Sanwo- Olu seems like a true leader, he has being addressing Lagosians since the outbreak .

After buying enough food stuff now u want to close market

He seems to be the only governor doing something about this Coronavirus. Others are just there waiting for FG fund to share

Wow. The economic impact of COVID19 is gaining momentum daily. We hope Nigeria's government keeps its word on devaluation, and that there are proper economic structures in place.

Hope he gave them some money?

Good move

Pls, don't forget that the people selling non-essentials materials in the market needs to sell to make money, to buy the essentials materials... Nigeria nor easy o Person wey dey sell handkerchief needs to sell to buy food eat o

Please how will our feeding be

Read the article!!!

Maybe good. But you should look more at your elite class who are not doing what is expected. Instead of the citizens

Safety first Then we can later find out if they have made anything provision available for the citizens Not just a command without putting any measure in place

As e dey hot 💔 Things go scare and price go hike

But if these companies make these donations the 'powers that be' will siphon the money to their pockets.

How will they close market, seh them don pay salary ni

What about public transport. Will we be free to move around?

What about computer village ... Hope we are say sanwolu go pay us 😠😠

Close banks too

Good idea

That a nice step

dondekojo This is excellent stuff from the Lagos State Government.

This is actually very sensible but Nigerians are to lazy to open anything to read.

The pointing governor is working 🤣

Please, private companies should be order to close their offices for now

Y'all should read the article first before commenting.

While this is commendable to check the spread, where will the people buy food? What palliatives are in place to help people who depend on those markets for survival .

Nigerian lagosian let us reason along with our leaders for once.we know this might not be total solutions but we all know is a good steps.let join hands in this and make our ways round this gov steps let us be responsible towards our life's

What provisions have been made for the average pepper seller ,fish seller those struggling to eat daily not forgetting they have kids at home.please when the govt say stay home for 2 weeks or more they should also do something to reduce the impact on them.Thank you

This is getting serious.

Instead of going to okeodo from egbeda, ones the schools are fixed as market then one can get at any govt sch around there, that's is take. Lagosians let's b guided, they also want the best for us all...

If you are in Lagos please stay in Lagos don't travel to other parts until this is over.

Ikorodu is included please

itstamilore Who go give us food

Not all markets, those who are selling Food and drugs are allowed to go to market and it will take effect on Thursday. Go to bank, withdraw some cash before Thursday and go into food business. Stay safe.

Hope there is alternative measure for people to get food bcos hunger can kill ooh

Sanwoolu has been impressive since the outbreak of this pandemic in Nigeria. More power to ur elbow.

This is a right move.pls gov sanwo olu.let the MFB knows to this.cause most of this market ppl collect loan to run d businesses n they pay back monthly too.let the banks alsoknow to this

The person handling this Punchnewspaper Account is a fool...the Governor ordered closure of all markets and stores except markets that sell food, water, drugs and other essential life saving items.

NaijaFlyingDr What will the people that depend on barrow pushing, tomatoes and pepper sellers do

I think this okay

This is a good step. Not just markets along, but every social gathering in the country.

Joker,like he is gonna provide food for them

NaijaFlyingDr Now we talking

E don happen 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Are they planning on getting food items to people though? House to house, door to door , especially the lower class, whose only means of survival is to go to the market everyday..... The proactiveness is impressive! But let's do this. COVID19NIGERIA

You never pay salary... You dey close market... Nah grass we go dey eat at home abiii

You should have paid salaries, so that they people can get food stuff and more before closure of markets mr Man
