Workers in restaurants, gardens and parks may lose their jobs as owners and operators lament continued partial closure of business premises.
Speaking in Abuja over the plight of restaurant owners, Chairman of Casa Mexicana restaurant, Dr Goke Adegoroye said most restaurant owners are weighing their options and trying to see whether after COVID-19, they can still operate restaurants or embark on massive layoffs.
Adegoroye argued that the existing practices of restaurants encourage most items on the protocols such as hand washing and social distancing. Adegoroye warned that restaurants might begin to downsize or sack, which may exacerbate social ills such as armed robbery and kidnapping. “In most countries that are adversely affected by the COVID-19, one of the businesses that were allowed to open are the restaurants,” he stated.
