The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed its
confidence that the ban on religious gatherings in the country could end by the
first Sunday of June.
This was contained in a statement signed by CAN President,
Rev Samson Ayokunle, on Wednesday.
Ayokunle noted that they have been in talks with the federal
government over the measures to be put in place.
“We are in discussions with the Federal Government and are
drawing the guidelines that churches would follow in order not to endanger the
life of any worshipper and equally prevent COVID-19 infection,” part of the
statement read.
It added: “We are hopeful that latest by the first Sunday in
June, all our churches would open again for congregational worship under
COVID-19 prevention regulations. As I said before, we are consulting with the
government on this.”
Ayokunle also urged the government not to have any fear in
reopening religious centres, as they are more organized than markets and banks.
Churches and mosques have remained closed for over eight
weeks now.
