Lagos State covid-19 report as at 28th April:
The Lagos Governor played host to the Ooni of Ife, Oby Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II
The monarch was in the state to donate locally made modular fumigators.
Addressing Lagosians on the royal visit, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said:
“The eminent Royal Father presented 3 locally manufactured motorised modular fumigators and a drone sprinkler-fumigator, for aerial fumigation purposes to the Lagos State Government as his contribution to the fight against the #COVID19 pandemic.
“These fumigators are not only locally fabricated, and environmentally friendly, they convert the liquid sanitiser into fog that travels faster and stays longer to fight #COVID19 and any other virus in the community.
“We are extremely grateful to His Majesty for this generous functional donation.
“I also commend the traditional ruler for using his office as a strong institution to communicate the reality of the novel coronavirus to our citizens.
“The royal father is not only an enabler, he is also a significant part of governance in Nigeria. He has demonstrated that we can look inwards and collectively seek internal solutions to tackle the pandemic.”
