Speaking on behalf of the State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola at Ila Orangun market square, the Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Hon.

He 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 many resources meant for other sectors such as education, infrastructure and others in tackling the pandemic.”
Oyintiloye, further charged Babalojas and Iyalojas to advise traders on the need to always observe COVID-19 safety rules as well as establishing market task force to enforce strict compliance.
“I want you to know that Coronavirus is real and a lot of people have lost their lives through it. That is why it is important for everyone to take responsibility,” he added.
