The Governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has told residents to be careful and provide security alert against the fourth wave of the COVID-19 virus and also adhere to the COVID-19 protocols during this yuletide period.
He said this at the grand finale of the ‘Year 2021 Community Day Celebration’, held at police college, Ikeja on Tuesday.
“As Community Development Council (CDC) leaders, please take the message back home that because of the harsh weather during the harmattan season, fire is always a very easy occurrence.
“So, people need to live safely. Stay safe and make sure you don’t have combustible items around your shops, houses, and ensure precautions on electric gadgets to avert fire incidents.
“Security they say is local. Security is important at the grassroots level. You have been working with us, continue to work with us. You see something, you say something. All the neighborhood watchers are in your communities; let them know if you see strange movements.
“If you notice things that are not meant to be in your communities, pass on the message to them and you can rest assured that the security agents will come around to keep you safe and secured. As we are going into the yuletide season, please let’s be very vigilant and make sure that we are our brothers’ keeper.”
“Although we are getting out of the COVID-19, we cannot be completely relaxed. In all of our engagements, let’s continue to keep those simple safety protocols”, he added.
Sanwo-Olu also added that they have called on all Community Development Associations (CDAs) to join hands with the government to ensure a safe and secure environment during this festive season.
