COVID-19: FG Govt Releases New Conditions For Religious Gatherings
The federal government has released some guidelines for those wishing to attend churches and mosques.
This follows President Buhari’s approval for the lifting of the ban on religious gatherings across the country on Monday.
The ban on religious gatherings had been in place for two months as part of measures to check the spread of Coronavirus pandemic.
However, at the briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 on Monday, Chairman of the task force, Boss Mustapha, announced that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the relaxation of the ban for four weeks.
But addressing the media on Tuesday, the National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Sani Aliyu insisted that those attending churches, mosques, or any other religious gatherings must wear face masks, wash their hands and practice social distancing.

“There should be no social gathering after or before worship

Umahi, in a statement by the Commissioner of Information and State Orientation, Mr Uchenna Orji, said civil servants across the 13 LGAs of the state are qualified to apply within two weeks.
“The Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi requests applications from Civil Servants from Grade Level 14 and above to fill the vacancy of the Head Of Service (HOS), who shall be bowing out of Civil Service on 30th June 2021 after a meritorious and selfless service to the government and people of Ebonyi State,” the statement read in part.
The Governor further directed the civil servants to forward their applications to the Secretary to the State Government (SSG): “All applications are to be addressed to the Secretary to the State Government and Coordinating Commissioner, and submitted with all relevant credentials no later than 30th June, 2021.
Umahi added that “In replacing the outgoing Head of Service, the Government will be looking for the best for the State to continue the good work that the outgoing Head of Service began.
He applauded the loyalty, committed efforts and selfless service rendered by the out-going Head Of Service, Dr. Chamberlain Nwele, in the state and wished him well in his future endeavours.
