A statement signed Ismail Omipidan, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor where Oyetola announced a new set of guidelines that would guide the second phase of the gradual reopening of the state’s economy, also stated that all major markets would remain shut.

Oyetola, however, noted that the new measures would be for two weeks in the first instance.

He added that, notwithstanding the easing of the lockdown, the ban on political, public, religious, and any kind of gatherings remains in force.

“As you are all aware, the Federal Government a few days ago lifted the ban on religious activities in the country. We have, therefore, lifted ours too after our meeting with religious leaders on Wednesday with specific guidelines.

In furtherance to that, we have also further relaxed our curfew, as part of measures for the gradual reopening of our economy. Civil Servants on level 7 and above should go to work within normal office hours, while each department should work out and alternate working hours for workers on grade levels 1 to 6,” the governor said.
