Mr Adegboyega Oyetola’s government in Osun State has expressed worries over the heightening degree of non-compliance of citizens to the COVID-19 safety protocols outlined by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the State Government is considering the deployment of mobile courts across the state.
Instead of fines, defaulters will be made to put in hours of community service when found guilty.
In a statement issued at the end of the virtual State Executive Council meeting by the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, and made available to Press Men by the Senior Special Assistant (Media) to the Governor, Mabel Aderonke, the government expressed worry that inspite of all that has been done to enforce the safety guidelines – including lockdown, security operations and sensitization – a large number of people still move around without their face mask, while some are beginning to convene parties and social gatherings.
