The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, is meeting with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria on Sunday to decide if the state government would allow churches in the state to open their doors for worshippers, as the state continues to fight the spread of coronavirus.He said the government would receive a report from CAN on the issue and thereafter come up with a guideline for churches to meet if they are to open for Sunday services.
“The problem is not the church; the problem is after church what happens?” Mr Emmanuel said on May 9 during a similar radio interview. “At that point the pastor wouldn’t be able to control the crowd, wouldn’t be able to control how those people interact after church service.” Mr Emmanuel thanked health workers and other professionals in the state for their dedication to the fight against the novel coronavirus.
