The Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) of Egbe-Idimu Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Alhaji Kazeem Rabiu, has described the nonchalant attitude of residents towards the second wave of Coronavirus as worrisome.

Rabiu said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.

“The attitude of our people towards safety protocols is not encouraging at all, most of our people are still negligent and we are doing all we can to sensitise them.

“If not for anything, but for the sake of our health workers who have a lot on their hands trying to save as many lives as possible.

“These things are simple; wear your mask, sanitise your hands or wash with soap and water, avoid crowded areas, no party or gathering is worth anybody’s life,” he said.

When asked on efforts to educate residents, the CDC chairman said the LCDA and the CDC would embark on a sensitisation programme to educate the public.

“As instructed by Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, through the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Dr Wale Ahmed, we are to embark on educating residents on the importance of adhering to safety measures."

“The CDC and the council, under our able Chairman, Rep Kunle Olowoopejo, will mobilise few people to educate them in the market places, car parks among others,” Rabiu assured.
