The Nation reports that this was disclosed on Monday, April 20, by the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the 7th briefing on COVID-19 at the State House, Marina, Lagos.
It was gathered that the governor said one million of locally made face mask have been contracted to tailors and would be distributed during the week.

As a result of the continuous decline in oil price and economy in shut mode, lockdown poses more danger. The US oil also plunged to negative as sellers had to beat the contract deadline. Since no buyers to offload the barrels, no space to store the undemanded oil, sellers had to pay buyers just to settle meet deadline. Brent and Opec basket also moving in this direction.
Nigeria depends more on proceeds of crude oil and will be hard-beat if economy is not restarted soon.
