Lagos State government, on Tuesday, commenced fumigation of all offices inside the government secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, in its efforts to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which has recorded thousands of deaths globally, with over a million still receiving treatment.
Officials from the State Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs, led by Amos A Joseph, Rachel Oluwafunmilayo Anifowose and Mr William, were seen directing fumigation workers, as they carried out the exercise, in and around offices at the secretariat.
The offices include the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperative, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Home Affairs, the Bagauda Kalto Press Centre, among others.
One of the officials, Joseph, who spoke with the Tribune Online about the exercise, said it was taking place simultaneously in all the 57 council areas in the state, pointing out that his team was directed to commence immediately with the government secretariat.
He, however, could not say which place the exercise would hold next, adding: “We could be asked to move to the Lagos State House of Assembly.
“But right now, we have been directed to move to the government secretariat to fumigate all the offices and the surroundings which you are seeing us doing,” he said.
