Gombe State Government has announced the suspension of the ban imposed on places of worship to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya announced the lifting of the suspension on Thursday in Gombe after a meeting with religious leaders in the state.
Yahaya noted that the restriction imposed by the state government to contain community spread of the disease had yielded results.He said since the religious leaders had given assurances that they would comply with all health authorities’ directives on COVID-19, churches and mosques should open for worship.
Yahaya, however, warned that should the religious organisations fail to comply with the health directives, the government would reimpose the ban. Mohammed stated that the taskforce would train some members of religious organisations, who would, in turn, pass on the training to create more awareness on preventive measures.
