Lagos State Government says it would, on Friday, 13th March 2020, begin eight-week massive disinfection and fumigation of no fewer than 27 model colleges with hostel facilities, abattoirs, and slaughterhouses, agricultural produce markets as well as regular markets in the State.

The State Commissioner for Agriculture, Prince Gbolahan Lawal, who disclosed this in Lagos noted that the fumigation exercise is aimed at preventing the outbreak and spread of the Lassa Fever in Lagos State through rats.

According to the Commissioner, all the abattoirs and slaughterhouses in the State would also be sterilized, stressing that the State Government was taking proactive measures in order to improve the overall general sanitation and hygiene situations of public places in the State.

Lawal urged residents to ensure that rats were totally exterminated from their homes while also taking effective measures to discourage rats from surviving within their environment, adding that the importance of promoting good community hygiene cannot be overemphasized.

The Commissioner, therefore, advised members of the public to always store grains and other foodstuffs in rat-proof containers, dispose of garbage far from homes, maintain clean household-culture and understand as well as practice basic hand-washing hygiene.

The exercise is expected to end on Thursday, 7th May 2020.

Positive move by the Lagos state Government because we can’t afford to add Lassa fever wahala to the already trending Coronavirus. FTC

LASSA has killed more people in Nigeria than most "deadlier" diseases we have been paying attention to. It's a good thing the state government is doing.



On the flip side, Lagos is way below its worth. The level of development in that state is far lower than what comes into her. You can hardly see any street in Lagos without potholes-most are not even tared. There are statees with lesser resources that are doing much better than Lagos in Percentage term. No road, no rail, no water, street lights are all dead, no 4th mainland bridge. What is the use?

That's good development. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. The world is battling Coronavirus but we here in Nigeria are battling multiple issues including Lassa Fever. May God protect us here.

Really? Anyway by your moniker I can see your intentions.

This is a good move. Until we are sure of a Corona outbreak in Lagos, public enlightenment will suffice for now. The Lassa needs to be tackled and the govt should consider fumigating more places, the rats are basically everywhere.

They should dredge those smelling canals,

Clean up the gutters, make way for those gutters to flow out.
They should give the contracts to julius begger to evacuate the waste in those gutters and canals.

Many people were alarmed, then, when the World Health Organization announced in March that COVID-19 has killed 3.4% of the people who have caught it so far—a mortality rate far higher than not only the seasonal flu, but also higher than earlier COVID-19 mortality estimates, which were around 2%. - time.com

About 15–20% of hospitalized people with Lassa fever will die from the illness. The overall case fatality rate is estimated to be 1%, but during epidemics, mortality can climb as high as 50%. - Google.

Each Earth has its own problems.

This should be our biggest worry, not Corona virus.

The mortality rate for Lassa fever stands at double digit as high as 20% while the mortality rate for coronavirus stands at around 3.5% globally with the most vulnerable been the older population (as seen in Italy) and those with weak immune system and the vulnerable, yet there is so much sensationalism around Corona virus.

Nonsense!
