Lagos may extend lockdown - Sanwo-Olu

According to Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the 14-day lockdown currently being observed in the state may be extended.

The governor made the comment on Saturday during a briefing with journalists.

He said a decision would be arrived at depending on how things unfold in the coming days and if there is need for extending it, he would liaise with the federal govermment.

“This is just day five. So, in the first 14 days, we still have about eight or nine days to go,” he said.

“So, I’m sure that it’s something that all of us, including the federal authorities will be reviewing. The lockdown was not only a directive of the governor; it was a national decision and it has national backing. So, if there is a need to extend, I can assure you that we will make the call.”
