Recall the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu,hinted that a second lockdown could be on the horizon due to the rate at which residents have consistently flouted the social-distancing guidelines issued prior to easing the initial one-month lockdown on May 4.

Keyamo, in his personal opinion, opposed that idea, he wrote ;

”My personal view is that another total lockdown would be counterproductive. Before defeating the virus, we must learn to live with it all around us & practice the skills of avoiding it like a landmine. Practice makes perfect. We cannot perfect those skills by locking ourselves up”
