The government says worship centres should take
the issue of COVID-19 safety protocol adherence
seriously.
The Lagos State Government has warned religious
leaders in the state to intensify adherence to
safety protocols in their worship centres to avert
the second wave of coronavirus.
The Commissioner for Home Affairs, Prince Anofiu
Elegushi , said this on Monday, during the
commemoration of the International Day of
Tolerance at Ikeja.
Elegushi said that there was the need for the
worship centres to take the issue of COVID-19
safety protocol adherence seriously to avoid another
lockdown.
He said that some countries such as the United
States of America, the United Kingdom, and France
among others were currently experiencing the
second wave of the virus.<br><a>

"We cannot afford to allow this to happen, I beseech
us to continue to use our face masks, wash our
hands frequently.
"Also, maintain social distance in public places
while also using alcohol-based hand sanitisers from
time to time to combat infection or transmission. I
believe together, we shall overcome the scourge.
"Let me reiterate and admonish our beloved people
not to relent in supporting and understanding the
efforts of the Lagos State Government.
"We should not let down our guards, as it is not yet
'Uhuru', the battle against this dreaded virus is yet to
be over.
"All guidelines and safety protocols of mitigating
against the COVID-19 should still be stringently
adhered to," the commissioner said.
He said that with the outbreak of the COVID-19
pandemic, people's lifestyle, worldview, and global
economies had not been the same.
According to him, a lot of people, families have lost
their loved ones, lost their livelihoods while
companies and organisations are winding up.</a><br>
He said that the State Government, in its social
responsibilities, had put measures in place to assist
Small and Medium Scale Enterprises with soft loans
and grants.
"The Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had also
appealed to corporates not to lay off staff.
"We are indeed faced with several health and
economic challenges at this time but the Almighty
God has been benevolent to us in Nigeria generally
and in Lagos State in particular, coupled with the
resilient spirit known to Lagosians.
"The State Government has observed with a high
sense of pride of how Lagos residents had risen to
the occasion to partner with government in the area
of support and donations as exhibited by well
meaning citizens and corporates in providing
succour to residents during and after the lockdown
resultant from the spike of the coronavirus.<br><a>
"It is quite commendable that Lagos residents were
tolerable of one another.
"During this period, residents exemplified a high
sense of humanity whereby everyone looked out for
the wellbeing and welfare of one another. This is
love in demonstration," Elegushi said.</a>
