Okikiola Olamiposi
In a move aimed at curbing the fast spread of deadly Coronavirus in the state, the Lagos State Government has intensified its efforts in ensuring major locations and facilities in the metropolis are disinfected, as it commenced fumigation of its Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja, on Tuesday.
Officials from the State Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs, led by Amos Joseph, Rachel Oluwafunmilayo Anifowose and Mr William, were seen directing fumigation workers, as they carried out the exercise, in and around offices at the Secretariat.
The offices include Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperative; Ministry of Transportation; Ministry of Home Affairs; the Baguda Kalto Press Centre; the car park; among others.
One of the officials, Joseph, who spoke on the exercise, said it was taking place simultaneously in all the 57 Council Areas in the state, pointing out that his team was directed to commence immediately with the government secretariat.
He, however, could not say which place the exercise would hold next, adding: “We could be asked to move to the Lagos State House of Assembly.”
“But right now, we are at the government secretariat to fumigate all the offices and the surroundings, which you are seeing us doing.”
