Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, on Friday, suspended the planned reopening of the religious centres in the state.
The governor said he changed his plan as earlier promised following the increase in the cases of coronavirus in the state.
Abiodun had earlier fixed June 19 for the planned reopening of the worship centres in the state and had set up a tripartite committee to work out the modalities for the reopening.
“As a responsible administration, we choose life and the wellbeing of our citizens and are therefore constrained to take the painful but necessary decision to maintain the current regime of eased lockdown in the meantime.DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
