COVID-19: Ogun State Government Orders Churches, Mosques, Hotels To Open Fully

The Ogun State Government has ordered the full reopening of churches, mosque and hotels.

The order was given by the state governor, Governor Dapo Abiodun.

Also to open fully are businesses, hotels, and other entertainment centres in the state.

Recall that the Ogun State governor had closed religious centres, businesses, and schools in March to checkmate coronavirus surge.

In August, he announced the reopening of only worship centres and schools subject to guidelines of the safety measures.

In a statement released on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Kunle Somorin, the Governor said the religious centres and other public places have been reopened following successful taming of COVID-19.

He said: “It stated that in the process of rebuilding the economy, the State Government was irrevocably committed to the successful implementation of the “Building our Future Together” agenda, and would ensure everything possible for people to have increased prosperity that would place the State on a sound footing towards continued development. “It further added that government would improve on testing, just as it continues to monitor the development and not hesitate to do selective lockdown should there be any flagrant disobedience to the set COVID-19 protocols,” the statement said.
