Also, Nigeria’s leading manufacturing industry, Doyin Investments donated thousands of packs of noodles to the state as palliative measure to cushion the economic hardship brought upon the residents by the lockdown.

The Deputy Governor of the state, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat gave the advice yesterday when he visited the Eti-Osa Isolation Centre alongside the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi and Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN).

During the visit, the deputy governor expressed satisfaction with the facilities at the isolation centre, but urged all the residents of the state to comply with the state sit at-home order.

He said: “With the cooperation of people, we shall defeat this common enemy. The essence of the restriction order is to prevent the spread of the pandemic. The government did not make the order to punish people, but to ensure their safety at this period of adversity.”
