The Lagos State Government through the Director General of the Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola, has called on Lagosians to take responsibility and be more safety-conscious as end of the year approaches.
Speaking to journalists about safety in the environment, Mojola emphasized that the safety of lives must take priority over everything else as there is excessive heat and dry weather.
He stated, “Once there is life, there is hope for a better tomorrow. We can only hope for the best.”
Mojola noted that the current weather conditions are unfavorable, adding “The excessive heat due to dry weather can lead to tiredness, high fever, blurred vision, and dehydration, which are uncomfortable and harmful to health”.
He warned residents not to compromise their safety, advising against smoking in public places and storing flammable substances or fuel at home, stalls, or shops to prevent fire outbreaks and incidents that could lead to fatalities.
Mojola urged everyone to support the government and be more safety-conscious to ensure that homes, workplaces, and environment are safe and free from incidents that can endanger lives.
