Worried by the level of disregard for guidelines, the Federal Government on Wednesday asked security agencies to ensure compliance.
“We have called on state security agencies and state structures to provide support and supervision that will ensure compliance to the eased lockdown guidelines. In this regard, we are appealing strongly to the public to cooperate with the state security agencies in the interest of public safety,” National Coordinator of the President Task Force on COVID-19 Control, Dr. Aliyu Sani, said on Wednesday.
He said: “The PTF continues to be very concerned about the level of compliance with the eased lockdown guidelines that we introduced last week across the country but most especially in Lagos. The continued disobedience portends danger for the country as this could lead to more spread of the virus to more people, the Federal Government warned.
Commercial vehicles are only allowed to operate outside the curfew hours and practise social distancing in the number of their passengers. He said: “The overall assessment of compliance with the measures and outcomes of modelling we have developed, point in the direction of danger ahead. We therefore need personal discipline, increased awareness and enforcement.
