Lagos approves church, mosque reopening



The Lagos State Government has relaxed its ban on religious activities, calling for adherence to all safety protocols to curb the spread of the COVID-19.

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during a press briefing on Thursday at the Lagos House, Marina, said churches would open only on Sundays, and mosques, on Fridays. Sanwo-Olu said while Muslims could congregate for their Jummat Services from June 19, Christians could return to their places of worship from June 21.

The governor said all permitted religious activities must be conducted within the ambit of a set of new protocols for organised gathering rolled out by an inter-ministerial committee chaired by the Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Tayo Bamgbose-Martin
