“It is not a total lockdown, we still want people on essential services to go about their normal activities. “We are trying to de-centralise markets in Lagos.

This is why we want to use some of our closed schools as markets, so people can buy food and medicine without going a long distance. “It is only when you are alive that you can talk about economics and finance.”
