A member of the House of Representatives, Akin Alabi, has begun door-to-door enlightenment campaign on the coronavirus to teach residents in his Egbeda/Ona Ara constituency of Lagos about social distancing and self-isolation.
In the first batch of the campaign which began over the weekend, Mr Alabi also provided emergency relief package which includes food items and hygiene products for the residents at their doorstep in order to cushion the effect of the stay-at-home order.
“This is only the first batch, we don’t know how long this will last yet, but we all know that our people need this in order to get along since we are shutting down their daily business in order to curb the spread of Coronavirus,” he said.
Alabi added that he decided to educate the residents so they would understand the importance of slowing the spread of the disease.
The lawmaker also provided food items like rice, beans, garri, groundnut oil and hygiene products like hand sanitisers and soaps.
He said the initiative would continue until the country is able to combat the ravaging virus.
