Nigeria’s Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has kicked against the Lagos State Governor’s threat of locking down the state again if people continue to violate the social distancing order in the state. 
The Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19 and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, have recently hinted at having to re-impose the lockdown order in the states like Lagos State, Abuja and Ogun State after residents of those state have continuously flouted all of the lockdown easing guidelines. 
Minister Of State Labour Festus Keyamo has taken to his Twitter handle to disapprove of another round of the lockdown saying it would completely be counterproductive. He wrote in his tweet;
”My personal view is that another total lockdown would be counterproductive. Before defeating the virus, we must learn to live with it all around us & practice the skills of avoiding it like a landmine. Practice makes perfect. We cannot perfect those skills by locking ourselves up”
