The Lagos State Government has issued a safety alert to residents, urging them to prioritize their safety and well-being as the year comes to a close. Mr. Lanre Mojola, Director General of the Safety Commission, emphasized that safety should take precedence over everything else, especially with the current unfavorable weather conditions characterized by excessive heat and dryness.
These weather conditions can lead to health issues such as tiredness, high fever, blurred vision, and dehydration. To mitigate these risks, Mr. Mojola advised residents to avoid smoking in public places and storing flammable substances or fuel at home, stalls, or shops, as these can cause fire outbreaks and fatalities.
