Why Gov Fayemi Is Threatening Another Total Lockdown In Ekiti State

“We are still at a stage where we have not had community spread because those who came to infect our people here came from outside the state.

“But should our people refuse to abide by the protocols, we will be left with no other option than to return total lockdown to avert community spread,” the commissioner for Information in Ekiti State, Muyiwa Olomilua has disclosed.

The commissioner made the revelation while assessing how residents are sticking to keep safe measures in the fight against Covid-19 earlier today, June 9, 2020.

Commenting on when schools would be re-opened in the state, Olomilua stated the Governor Kayode Fayemi’s administration’s position on the issue with the assertion “A committee comprising government’s delegates, Parents Teachers’ Association and proprietors of schools is being mulled by Governor Fayemi to interact and come up with recommendations that can facilitate easy return of students to schools.

“We are not in a hurry to reopen schools, because we knew that we have to provide all necessary facilities like running water, sanitizers and infrared thermometers in all schools in order not to endanger the lives of our pupils,”
