LCC takes steps as Lekki toll gate staff tests positive for COVID-19

The Lekki Concession Company which manages the Lekki toll gate in Lagos has revealed that one of its staff has tested positive for COVID-19.

This was after a lady took to Twitter to blame the company of being irresponsible and aiding the community spread of the virus.

"Only a few of his contacts asked to stay at home without being told why. The index case, wife & kids are positive. Some members of staff are feeling sick but LCC is still open! LLC irresponsible action is increasing the community transmission rates in Lagos! @LSMOH @NDDCgov."

The LCC has now responded by sharing a communique which shows the measures taken since the staff tested positive.
