Lagos state Governor Babajide sanwo-olu has released details of how offices, businesses, markets and stores would operate next week when the lockdown is relaxed.
During a televised press conference on Wednesday, Governor Sanwo-Olu said companies that choose to work within the controlled easing phase must operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., deploying only 60 per cent of their staff capacity.
He said open markets and stores would function daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on selected days, noting that there would be an overnight curfew from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. except for essential services.
He said public officers from Grade Levels 1-12 should work from home unless otherwise directed by their accounting officers. For those on Grade Levels, 13 and above, accounting officers would carry out a needs assessment of critical staff, identify essential officers and draw up a flexible work roster in compliance with social distancing principles.
On public transportation, he said: “All buses should be loaded to a maximum of 60 per cent capacity. This means that if a bus normally takes 10 people at full capacity, during this period, no more than six persons can be allowed to board at any point in time.
