Speaking on behalf of the State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola at Ila Orangun market square, the Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye expressed displeasure over low level of COVID 19 protocols compliance among the traders as many were not wearing facemask, lack of social distancing.
He noted the brazen disrespect to the guidelines can endanger the lives of the people.
The Special Adviser therefore charged the market men/women to desist from the act stressing that “if we can strictly adhere to the safety measures, Government will not need to expend much resources meant for other sectors such as education, infrastructure and others in tackling the pandemic”.
