Following the directive on Monday night by President Muhammadu Buhari to ease lockdown in Lagos on Monday, May 4, 2020, the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has advised the workers in the state to take advantage of working from home, if it is possible.
Recall that InsideOjodu had earlier reported 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.
The Governor in his speech advised workers in the state to restrict commute time to-and-from work to between 8am and 6pm.
He said, “Work hours will be pegged between 8am and 6pm, with adequate time allocated for commuting.
Lagos is the epicentre of COVID-19 in Nigeria. For a lot of industries, the lockdown has shown the many potentials of working from home, please take advantage of this, even as we expand testing, contact tracing and continue to stop the spread of the virus.”
