The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has reviewed
guidelines for religious gatherings in the State.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Commissioner
of Information in the State, Paulinus Nsirim, on Wednesday.
Nsirim noted that the restriction on the number of
worshippers during church services has been increased from 50 to 70 persons in
the State.
According to him, the State government was still working on
modalities for the number of Muslims that can congregate for Friday prayers.
These were part of resolutions reached at a meeting between
Wike and religious leaders at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the State
capital.
At the meeting, Wike commended the religious leaders for
complying with the directive of 50 persons per gathering and the maintenance of
COVID-19 advisories.
The Governor also assured that his administration would
provide palliatives to religious organisations through their umbrella
organisations.
