“I want to appeal to the federal and Lagos State government to remunerate all those workers who have volunteered to work accordingly, so as to serve as encouragement to others. Their life should be insured too.
“If they are not here as first responders, many would have died.”

“Apart from what my colleague said, the workers should be insured. Proper insurance will let people do what they have to do.”
He narrated a scenario where the workers could not attend to him because he tested positive, saying: “they went back and I slept off. I woke up around 3 am. So, they deserve life insurance to encourage them to do their job.”
