According to the governor, the price reduction in all state public transportation on the road, and waterways system would take effect next week.

“This will take effect from tomorrow for the next seven days. We will push out more Cowrie Cards to enable more Lagosians to get onboard our services.”
The governor also stated palliative items will be distributed to residents as of tomorrow through religious leaders, non-governmental organisations, to assist those affected by the current situation.
He further explained that the state government has suspended the road construction along Buba Maruwa, Ijegun-Egba to ease fuel dispatch across the state. And appeal to residents not to take advantage of the economic challenge to perpetrate crime in the state.
While directing that food banks be set up in various parts of the state to cater for the vulnerable, the governor added that the state government will distribute food stuff to various communities.
The governor commended the military, the Department of State Services (DSS), the police, the Civil Defence and Neighbourhood Watch for their service and diligence in the state.
