Africa Press-Nigeria:
The Ekiti State government has shifted the reopening of worship centres across the state to August 14, contrary to July 14 earlier announced by Governor Kayode Fayemi as reopening date.
In a statement on Friday by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Mojisola Yaya-Kolade, the government said the action was taken in view of the unpreparedness of churches and mosques leaders to comply with conditions stipulated for reopening of religious centres.
The statement said: “The latest communique of CAN is indicative of the fact that worship centres are not yet ready to comply with conditions stipulated as guidelines and conditions set out by the government for reopening of worship centres.
“In view of the foregoing, the state government has shifted the date for the reopening of worship centres on August 14, 2020, to give the worship centres enough time to meet the prescribed conditions for the reopening”, he said.
