“To ensure we keep our environment safe and curtail the contagion of #COVID19, we are deploying disinfectant equipment to fumigate the entire state.
“These fumigation machines will be deployed to every part of the metropolis for sterilization of our public spaces & surfaces.
“We are very aggressive in our efforts to combat the novel Coronavirus in the State. We all have to #TakeResponsibility and do our part in ensuring we remain safe and healthy,” Sanwo-Olu said on his Twitter handle.
