Lagos Considers Full Re-Opening of Economy, Embarks On Assessment Of Readiness Of Businesses

•LASEPA, Safety Commission To Re-Register, Assess Businesses Before Re-Opening
•‘Infected Govt House Staffers Have Recovered’ - Governor


Lagos State is considering full re-opening of the critical sectors of its economy, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, revealed on Sunday. But, the move will not be pushed in a hurry.

In the coming days, Sanwo-Olu said the State Government would be rolling out Register-to-Open initiative as part of the plans that would enable it to assess the level of readiness of the players in the identified sectors for supervised operations.

The Governor spoke at a briefing after the State’s Security Council meeting held at the State House in Marina.

Sanwo-Olu said officials from the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC) and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) will be visiting restaurants, companies, religious houses to assess their level of readiness.

With the size of the State’s economy and numbers of businesses that operate in its domain, the Governor said the Government could not afford to keep people and businesses on lockdown permanently.

He said: “We are at a level where we are reviewing the other arms of the economy. In the coming days, we will be starting what we call Register-to-Open, which means all players in the restaurant business, event centres, entertainment, malls and cinemas will go through a form of re-registration and space management.

“There is a regulation that will be introduced to supervise this move. We will be coming to their facilities to assess their level of readiness for a future opening. I don’t know when that opening will happen in the weeks ahead, but we want these businesses to begin to tune themselves to the reality of COVID-19 with respect to how their workspaces need to look like.

“For us, it is not to say they should re-open fully tomorrow or any time; there has been a process guiding the re-opening. We will be mandating LASEPA and Safety Commission to begin the enumeration process and the agencies will be communicating with all relevant businesses and houses in the days ahead. I must, however, caution that this should not be misinterpreted as a licence for full opening; it is certainly not. The State’s economy is not ready for that now.”

Sanwo-Olu said the Government agencies also would be visiting places of worship to evaluate their level of preparedness ahead of full reopening. He stressed that social distancing and hygiene would be fully considered in determining whether mosques and churches can re-open in the future.
“We are reviewing and considering how the phased unlocking will happen. If we see a huge level of compliance, then it can happen in the next two to three weeks. If not, it could take a month or two months. It is until we are sure all of these players are ready to conform to our guidelines,” the Governor asserted.

Sanwo-Olu urged businesses, religious houses and residents to maintain the status quo while the State works out modalities for full re-opening.
The Governor disclosed that all the 10 staff of the Government House who tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19) had fully recovered and returned to their beats. He said the disclosure was necessary to further promote transparency in the reporting and management of coronavirus cases by the State Government.

Sanwo-Olu enjoined banks and markets to strictly enforce orderliness in their premises. He directed that elderly people must be given the priority to transact their businesses in bank and markets between 9 am and 10:30 am, after which other younger customers should be allowed to transact.
Lagos residents, the Governor charged, must not take the easing of lockdown for granted, saying everyone residing in the State must collectively.

Lagos state just got to open their economy.

No time should be wasted as the virus has come to stay.

The Madagascar herbal drug for treatment of coronvirus should be imported for trial.

we do not even have any real plan for anything, we just copy whatever policies they do abroad and implement here

Did you just realise that? They always borrow brain... Using another man's idea to solve problem that have its peculiarity. What works for A may not necessarily work for B.

Now we've lost too much in terms of the economy to continue with the lockdown. Eyes don dey clear

They put the country on lockdown when cases were small and now they want to open the economy when cases are high...

It means there is no justification for the lockdown in the first instance...

No, what is happening is that countries are gradually coming to terms with living with the virus. It's called a social end to the virus. Where people stop having fear of the virus and go on about their normal lives regardless of casualties. Similar to how we are coping with HIV, Malaria, seasonal flu, all of which still kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. etc
tell the dumb dummies, they can stay inside with their families, dumb zombies...so many Nigerian youths are clueless.

Sounds like he is trying to impose a communist state. Re-registering allows government to assess tax contributions. Small businesses that have been operating under the radar will be captured in this drag net scheme.

It's obvious lagos is on the prowl for new sources of IGR post oil crash. But ordinary people did not benefit from oil boom, so it is shambolic that state gov now want to throw the weight of the economy on their heads.

This whole thing get context. You have to understand that gov interests are rarely if ever, inline with the interest of their people.

I am among the people who believe coronavirus is a scam, like 9/11, Iraqs WMD and Libyas. Its always the same players with the same nefarious motives. America, France and UK want to secure their hegemony on the global economy and reset the growth of developing nations, with the complicity of the leaders of such nations who were installed there.

Chinas part in all the remains to be clear, but Chinas relationship with her people and the world at large has been tumultuous to say the least.

Coronavirus is nothing but flu clad as a plague to surrepticiously justify the decline of wealth and aspirations. Why is it that everytime there is a false flag poor people get poorer and big western industries increase their reach, globalisation reach?

Even though Africans cant build homes and businesses they can always afford to binge on coke or guinness?

Africa owes foreign banks $112 billion (2012) but has $900 billion laundered in the Cayman Island; a tax haeven created by the British to continue looting her colonies post "independence". And lets not forget copycat tax haevens of France - Monaco and America - Bahamas, which are merely clandestine ways of allowing wealth to pour out of Africa (former colonies) and maintain a deathly status quo.
