Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said the state will be unveiling a whistleblowing channel to report organisations that flout the new directives, as regards the easing of lockdown.
The Governor announced this on Wednesday night via his verified Twitter handle @jidesanwoolu.
Recall that InsideOjodu reports that President Muhammadu Buhari, in his Monday evening national broadcast ordered the “gradual easing” of lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States, imposing an 8pm to 6am curfew as part of measures to curb the spread of the pandemic.
He noted that the government will guarantee full protection of Whistleblowers.
Governor Sanwo-Olu also added that a committee will be inaugurated with representatives from NURTW, RTEAN, Private Transport Operators, Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, Manufacturing Association of Nigeria(MAN) and all the Lagos state ministries responsible.
The tweets reads: “Even as we begin #EasingTheLockdown, it will not be business as usual so we are unveiling a whistle blowing channel to report organisations that flout the new directives. Whistleblowers will be guaranteed full protection and their identities would be kept strictly confidential.
“We are also inaugurating a committee with representatives from NURTW, RTEAN, Private Transport Operators, Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, Manufacturing Association of Nigeria(MAN) and all the Lagos state ministries responsible.
“This committee will be charged with the responsibility of communicating, to their members, the framework on the controlled easing of the lockdown so that we can all fully understand what is expected from us..”
