Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Wednesday commissioned a 70-bed #COVID19 isolation and treatment centre located within the premises of Landmark Exhibition Center in Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

The 70-bed Isolation Centre which was constructed by the Young President Organization (YPO), Lagos State Chapter has a dedicated ten-bed intensive care isolation unit, four ventilators, monitors, respirators, mobile x-ray, ultrasound and oxygen.

Sanwo-Olu said the facility will provide additional capacity to support the already existing isolation facilities in the State adding that the birth of the facility signifies a working and fruitful collaboration between the public and the private sector.

He explained further that the unveiling of the facility is a clear demonstration and commitment of his administration to all-inclusive system of governance.

“What we have seen here today is another demonstration of Private Public Partnership (PPP) collaboration between the State government and a Consortium; the Young President Organization which is peopled by crop of professionals from different fields coming together to fund this laudable project”, the Governor said.

While commending YPO for the project, Sanwo-Olu said the facility has been taken over by the State government but will be operated in collaboration with the organization.

He expressed satisfaction with the level of preparedness of the medical professionals that will man the facility stressing that the facility is ready to commence patient admission.

“We have taken over this facility but it will be operated in collaboration with the private sector. I am happy with the level of preparedness I have seen. I am happy with the level of professional staff that will be operating this facility. This facility is ready to go and I am sure either today or tomorrow we will start admitting people into this facility”, Sanwo-Olu said.

Earlier, the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyo Onigbanjo coordinated the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on the operation and management of the facility between the Lagos State Government represented by the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi and representative of YPO, Tatiana Mousalli

80 clinical and non-clinical staff including doctors and nurses and intensive care professionals who have been trained on Infection Prevention and Control as well as COVID19 case management will man the facility.

Also present at the event were the Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, Commissioner for Information, Mr. Gbenga Omotosho and Permanent Secretaries in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Olusegun Ogboye and Health Service Commission, Dr. Muyiwa Eniayewun.

That's a nice one from the peoples governor.

Lagos seems to be utilizing the fund from FG well

STOP THIS NONSENSE. STOP COPYING THE WEST AND OPEN UP THE ECONOMY WITH COMPULSORY FACE MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCING.

THIS STUPID LOCKDOWN WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING.

FAMINE IS COMING. GHANA HAD THE RIGHT IDEA TO OPEN UP BECAUSE LOCKDOWN DOES NOTHING.

YOU CANNOT REDUCE CORONA VIRUS TO ZERO, NOBODY HAS DONE IT, NOT EVEN WITH THE STRICTEST LOCKDOWN.

FAMINE IS COMING.

I just like Lagos, Nigeria. Abia state is a poo hole state.. The masses in that state chose to vote for a candidate for a bottle of gas.. Really?

Sanwo seems to be pretty working to curtail this corona virus

empty isolation center

Lagos government is working.

Coronavirus will be off from our World in no time in Jesus Name.

Everything is politics in Nigeria. What is the essence of commissioning an isolation centre at this critical time. We are too idle in this country.

EKO ONI BAJE OOO!!

Preparation for people to coma and lie on their possibly death bed, their last geographical location on earth.
They should have shut down this country from day one. Medicine after death.

Nice move

Why are most people here praising Sanwo for this? Let's thank "Young President Organisation"

Very effective move tho...instead of donating money to our thief government

Dear Nairalanders,

I'm using this medium to appeal to all of us to take safety and precautionary measures to avoid contracting this deadly virus.

I've always been amongst the pessimistic few who always rubbishes media publications about the COVID-19 pandemic as a hoax in Nigeria until I lost a beloved friend (pic attached), That was all it took for my psych to change.


COVID-19 is real peeps!!!
Stay safe.

RIP Aromide Bamidele.
We'll forever miss u.!!
