According to her, the rationale behind the relief materials was to help minimise the impact of the lockdown directive instituted to curb the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic and provide emergency food solutions to the members and their respective households.

She urged the members and the general public to comply with the prevailing stay-at-home directive as well as embrace regular handwashing with soap and running water while also observing social distancing.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Council for Tradesmen and Artisans, LASCOTA, has commended the State Government for the strategy adopted in the distribution of relief materials to its members across the State.
