Lagos is the epicenter of the Coronavirus in Nigeria. In response to addressing the spread of the virus, Lagos State House of Assembly passed a law entitled: “A Law to Combat and Stop the Spread of Coronavirus Pandemic in Lagos State and for Connected Purposes”. The law enables the Governor to spend at least N20 billion (US52M) to combat the pandemic in the State. The Lagos State Government set up temporary food markets in some schools across the State under the Emergency Food Response Programme, to cushion the effect of the closure of major markets in the State in the wake of the lockdown. The State government provided food stimulus package for Lagos residents targeting 200,000 vulnerable households. The State Government also announced a medical lockdown palliative for all those needing to access medical care, as well as free childbirth services for expectant mothers.
