The Edo State Government has ordered the immediate shutdown of Lagos Street, an epicenter of trade and in Benin metropolis, to check the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the state.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, in a statement sent to DAILY POST said, the decision to shut down trading/business activities on Lagos Street, close to Oba ovonramwen square followed the refusal of residents to comply with the state government’s directives to participate in the ongoing screening and testing exercise for COVID-19, as part of efforts to contain the pandemic.

According to him, “Lagos Street will remain closed to activities until residents in the area take part in the exercise to protect themselves and other members of the public, The participation of all residents in the exercise is important in curtailing the spread of the virus in the state.

“Being a business hub, a large number of residents in Benin City and other parts of the state visit Lagos Street daily for various activities making the area a hotspot for the spread of COVID-19. This makes it important for residents and other persons in the area to participate in the exercise.

Lagos Street will remain closed to all forms of activities until the residents participate in the screening and testing exercise he added.

That's how Rivers State government started by locking down ikwerre rd mile 1 , then creek road and finally port Harcourt


It the same attitude stay at home or the government will ask you to


Kudos to our proactive government in the south south

I thought its the real lagos

Oo

Nigeria is a joke

Shutting things down with no alternatives

Nothing much to say anyway
Local man is weak

How in the world would some adopt the moniker Covid-19 like the person above in this thread.. Nigerians ehn

Edo state; the ban: their wahala.. Wetin be my own

G

Safety first...

Good Decision. There Are Over 1,000 Positive Cases Of Corona Virus In Edo State But They Haven't Been Tested.
The Governor Should Lock Down New Benin, Oba Market, Oliha Market, Ogida Market, Ekiosa Market, Ramat Park, Uselu Market, Egor Market. In fact Shutdown The Full Edo State.

I Don talk my own. Anyways, make I sit down dey observe

Anything that puts Corona at bay is welcome.


If there is good in doing that, the government have my backing. Time is not now to prioritise business over human health.

My governor you're doing well. If not for the proactive measures you've taken so far, the virus would have spread in Edo state especially Benin metropolis.


Your return ticket is sure 4+4=8

I'm an ardent "Obasekist" . No apology

Let the wailers wail...at least at the end of the day they will still be alive
