The Director General of the state’s Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola, called on Lagosians to take responsibility and be more safety-conscious as the end of the year approaches.
The GM made this known while addressing journalists on Saturday about safety in the environment amid current excessive heat and dry conditions.
Mojola emphasised that the safety of lives must take priority over everything else.
He said, “Once there is life, there is hope for a better tomorrow. We can only hope for the best.”
He highlighted that the current weather conditions are unfavorable, stressing that excessive heat due to dry weather could lead to tiredness, high fever, blurred vision, and dehydration, which are unhealthy conditions.
He advised against smoking in public places and storing flammable substances such as fuel at home, stalls, or shops to prevent fire outbreaks.
Mojola also urged everyone to support the government and be more safety-conscious to ensure that homes, workplaces, and the environment are safe and free from incidents that can endanger lives.
