COVID-19: Ex-Lagos Attorney-General urges Lagosians to embrace basic hygiene

The first female Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State, Mrs. Hairat Ade-Balogun, has emphasised the need to return to the culture of hygiene, in addition to other strategies put in place by the Lagos State Government, to effectively curb the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mrs. Ade-Balogun made the assertion in a letter to the current Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), stating that the protocols attached to the reduction of the pandemic was a wake-up call to return to basics and resuscitate the culture of hygiene that prevailed while she was a youth.

According to her, “We are not being asked to do anything strange but to go back to old times when we lived naturally healthy and caring lives.

“Before the advent of COVID-19 pandemic, children were inspected for cleanliness, everyone had two sets of clothes, one set for outings and the other for staying indoors,” she said.

Noting that physical distancing had always been part of Nigeria’s culture where youths showed respect to adults and strangers by keeping reasonable distance during interactions, the former Commissioner stressed that the increase in sensitisation of citizens should be employed in addition to prosecution for failure to wear facemasks in public places

She also appealed to Lagosians to support those in need at this critical period as they observe safety protocols established by the Federal and State governments to curb the pandemic in our communities.
