Fresh Lockdown Counterproductive- Festus Keyamo
Reactions have been trailing the new total lockdown being muted by the Lagos state government.
Recall that the Presidential Taskforce on COVID19 and the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu had both hinted that a fresh lockdown was imminent.
Reacting to the new lockdown, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, said that another lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic would be counterproductive.
Taking to his Twitter handle to share his disapproval for another lockdown, Keyamo wrote:
”My personal view is that another total lockdown would be counterproductive. Before defeating the virus, we must learn to live with it all around us & practice the skills of avoiding it like a landmine. Practice makes perfect. We cannot perfect those skills by locking ourselves up”
There has been a consisted increse in the infection rate of residents of Lagos, Abuja and Ogun, and this has been attributed to consistently flouting of the guidelines issued prior to easing the initial one-month lockdown on May 4.
