The Oyo State Government on Tuesday called on the state Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to direct churches in the state to end their cross-over services before 12 midnight on New Year eve to enable worshipers to comply with the existing 12 midnight to 4 am curfew imposed by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The call was made by the Coordinator of the Oyo State Task Force on COVID-19, Prof. Temitope Alonge in Ibadan on Tuesday while briefing journalists on the latest developments on COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alonge also urged the Oyo State chapter of CAN to emulate their counterpart in Lagos State which had directed their members to end their cross-over services latest by 11pm on Thursday, adding that street carnivals were banned in order to curb the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alonge, who appealed to residents to obey COVID-19 protocols<\/a>, said: \u201cI know that the Christian Association of Nigeria in Lagos State, after the release from the Lagos State government, had a meeting and directed that churches should in compliance with the national directive complete their services early enough to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are asking CAN in Oyo State to do the same, admonish and advice as many of their members to comply with the national directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not an Oyo State directive and we believe that was in the general good of everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is the responsibility of the individuals, families and corporate organisations to adhere to existing COVID-19 guidelines and protocols such as the use of face masks in public places, physical distancing and regular hand washing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
