Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu has canceled plans to reopen places of worship in Lagos State.
Recall that the governor recently announced that mosques are allowed to reopen on June 19, 2020, while churches can also open on June 21.
However, speaking recently, he disclosed that the reopening plan for places of worship has been suspended because of the rising number of new cases recorded in the state.
He added that the decision was taken after a thorough review of the state of Lagos amid the pandemic.
His words, “We’ve critically had to have a thorough review of where We're as a state and our review indicated that we needed to suspend that attempt quickly.”
