The LCCI President, Toki Mabogunje, said: “In view of the global outbreak of COVID-19 and the present challenging social, economic and public health realities, it has become imperative for us at LCCI as a socially responsible organisation to support the efforts of government in helping to cushion the effects of the pandemic on Lagos residents.”
Mabogunje stressed that, “It is no longer news that the pandemic has disrupted and still disrupting business and economic activities across sectors. We commend the combined efforts of the Federal, Lagos and other States, and their Ministries and Agencies, notably, Lagos State Ministry of Health, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and the Federal Ministry of Health for being front liners in the war against the pandemic.
He emphasized that “The business community will continue to support the governments at all levels to subdue the ravaging pandemic.”
