Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of The Lagos State has approved the full reopening of all markets in the state following the flattening COVID-19 in Lagos.

According to the governor, both food markets and non-food markets should reopen every day of the week.

Dr Ahmed pointed out that Sanwo-Olu also advised the continued observance of all safety protocols.

He noted that traders and their customers must adhere strictly to the COVID-19 protocols for their safety and the citizenry at large.
