Following steps taken by Lagos State to gradually re-open its economy, State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced an initiative tagged "Register-to-Open."

The Register-to-Open initiative will be monitored by the Lagos State Safety Commission and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency to assess the readiness of businesses in the identified sectors for supervised operations.

"We are at a level where we are reviewing other arms of the economy. We want these businesses to begin to tune themselves to the realities of COVID19 with respect to how their spaces need to look to reopen with a strict process for monitoring and space management.

"We are still in the process of reviewing and considering how the phased unlocking will happen. The length this will take will determine on the level of compliance and the level of conformity to our guidelines that we see," Sanwo-Olu said.

The State Governor also revealed that all staff of the State House that contracted COVID19 have fully recovered and have tested negative.

He asked Lagosians to take responsibility for their public health safety and take the easing of the lockdown for granted.
