2. Ekiti Postpones Church, Mosques Reopening Until August 14
Ekiti State Government has shifted the reopening of the places of worship in the state to August 14 following the alleged inability of the worship centers to meet the prescribed conditions for reopening.
Health Commissioner, Dr. Mojisola Yaya-Kolade who reiterated the commitment of the state government to the safety of lives and property said, "the government will leave no stone unturned in the enforcement of the regulations on the reopening of worship places in the state".
The Mosques and Churches shut down since March, we're billed to reopen for worship once a week on Fridays for Muslims effective from July 17 and once a week on Sundays effective from July 19 for Christians.
But Muslims under the aegis of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Ekiti state chapter, suspended the reopening of all major mosques across the state since all the safety protocols could not be met within the timeframe stipulated by the government.
Yaya-Kolade said in a statement on Friday that a communiqué from the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ekiti state chapter " is indicative of the fact that the worship centers have yet to be ready to comply with the conditions set out by the governments for the reopening of worship centers".
Consequently, she said the August 14 date was to "give the worship centers enough time to meet the prescribed conditions for reopening".
