The commissioner also revealed that personal aides working with the Governor and his wife also tested negative for the virus.
Abayomi announced this on his Twitter account early Friday.
The tweet reads: “I am happy to announce that #COVID19 Lagos Incident Commander, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu, the first Lady of Lagos @jokesanwoolu and their immediate family members, as well as aides, have all tested negative to #COVID19.

The Commissioner, however, urged Lagosians to keep up with the social distancing practice, saying that the State was poised to winning the battle against the coronavirus.
“We thank Lagos residents for their concern and support. We urge all to maintain social distancing.
“Together we can defeat #COVID19!
“Please stay safe #ForGreaterLagos” he said.
