Ogun Plans To Tighten Lockdown On Friday

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has planned to tighten the lockdown order in the state on Friday as to prevent further spread of the virus.

This statement was made by the governor by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, who urged the residents of the state to consider the recent lockdown extension as a necessary sacrifice.

He said, “The current window of relaxation of the lockdown in the state from 7am to 2 pm, which follows the same pattern of last week, will still be available for this Wednesday (15th April) and Friday (17th April , 2020) only.

“ This is to allow the residents prepare for the extension of the lockdown and restock on food and other essential items. However, Ogun State borders remain closed.

“ It should be emphasised that people should only go out if they need to and are required at all times when outside their homes to wear a face mask, including locally made face masks, even as they observe other social distancing measures.

“ The state will soon commence strict enforcement of wearing of face mask in the public as it has been shown to help flatten the spread of the virus. ”
