The
Lagos State Government says it is considering full re-opening of the critical
sectors of its economy after assessing the readiness of businesses to re-open.
The Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu
said this on Sunday after the State’s Security Council meeting, held at the State
House, Marina, where he said that the move to fully re-open the economy would
not be done in a hurry.
He said that in
the coming days, the state government would be rolling out “Register-to-Open”
initiative as part of the plans that would enable it to assess the level of
readiness of the players in the identified sectors for supervised operations.
The governor
said that the officials from the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC) and Lagos
State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) would be visiting restaurants,
companies, religious houses to assess their level of readiness.
He said that
with the size of the state’s economy and numbers of businesses that are
operating in Lagos, the government could not afford to keep people and
businesses on lockdown permanently.
“We are at a
level where we are reviewing the other arms of the economy. “In the coming
days, we will be starting what we call Register-to-Open, which means all
players in the restaurant business, event centres, entertainment, malls and
cinemas will go through a form of re-registration and space management.
“There is a
regulation that will be introduced to supervise this move. “We will be coming
to their facilities to assess their level of readiness for a future opening.
