”Following the directive of His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, the ban on religious congregations is hereby lifted with immediate effect to allow religious bodies have their normal worship and services.
”We urge religious leaders to put in place the following preventive measures:
1. Sanitizers should be provided for all worshippers at the entrance of churches and Mosques.
2. Sitting arrangements in Mosques and Churches should be done to ensure social distancing.
3. We also urge Churches and Mosques to make their services as brief as possible in order not to keep a large crowd of worshipers within an enclosed confinement for a long period.
”The COVID-19 Squadron Committee also urges religious leaders to continue to pray for the end of the pandemic so that the world can return to normal life and activities,” Fanwo.
