Gbadamosi in his statement warned that poverty and hunger in the country due to the lockdown will end up destroying Nigeria and affect the economy.
See his full statement below:
Governor @jidesanwoolu Please make every single government & private medical facility a test centre & encourage everyone to get tested. Don't be afraid to find out our true position, or too many people will die. Insist that everyone MUST wear masks, which you will give.

Channel funds to pharmaceutical companies to produce large amounts of immune boosters like Vitamin C plus zinc, to be distributed free. Also PLEASE, if you must, set up a time-bound committee to look into available cures. Dr. Zelenko's therapy already appears to be most effective

All the countries implementing EFFECTIVE lockdowns can afford to PAY THEIR CITIZENS to stay at home & have been doing that. Force will only work for so long in the face of extreme hunger.
