Lagos State on Wednesday said it would urge religious leaders to stop Friday (Juma’at) and Sunday services over growing concern on the spread of coronavirus in the state.
Commissioner for Information, Mr Gbenga Omotosho, said religious leaders will be advised to shut down services in the interest of the public.
“We are all aware that the Federal Government asked the National Youth Service Corps to shut down orientation camps. Yesterday (Tuesday) the Commissioner for Home Affairs said there will be a meeting with religious leaders today (Wednesday).
“It is going to be suggested to them to maybe stop Friday and Sunday services – wherever we have large gatherings.
“Going by the new development, I am sure they will be advised to shut down the services in the interest of the public and all of us. I am sure they are going to comply,” Omotosho said.
Nice one by the government ?. It’s in the interest of the masses . Praying strict compliance will be followed by the same masses??. More of God’s marvellous intervention is my prayer for all of us home and abroad in Jesus Mighty unfailing and Everlasting names AMEN ????
