Churches In Akwa Ibom To Reopen On Sunday

The Akwa Ibom State Government has approved the reopening of churches in the state on Sunday, June 07, 2020.

 

This is based on guidelines recommended by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) backed by an undertaking to comply and signed by representatives of all the blocs.

 

The recommendations are here attached. https://akwaibomstate.gov.ng/recommendations-for-the-reope…/

 

The State Government is confident that CAN; being a body full of integrity, will do everything within its jurisdiction to ensure that all churches adhere strictly to these guidelines as violators will be prosecuted.

 

A Joint Monitoring Team has been set up in each Senatorial District; comprising of representatives of Government, Security Agencies and CAN.

 

However, the BAN on BURIALS, WEDDINGS and indeed all forms of SOCIAL GATHERINGS is STILL IN-FORCE until further notice.

 

Citizens and Residents are enjoined to observe all prescribed guidelines on religious and social gatherings as well as PHYSICAL DISTANCING while WEARING FACE MASKS.

 

Signed
