COVID-19 lockdown: Kaduna has not reopened markets, places of worship – Gov. El-Rufai
Jun 2, 2020
The Kaduna State Government said that it has not reopened markets or places of worship.
Recall that the public places were closed in March 2020 as the state stepped-up COVID-19 prevention efforts.
Muyiwa Adekeye, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media & Communication in a statement said that the state government has started engagements with business leaders, and began receiving recommendations from some religious leaders on the subject of safe re-opening of places of worship.
“However, these consultations have not been concluded,” the statement warned.
According to the statement, as announced last week, relevant government agencies would engage business, community, and religious leaders to discuss and agree on the protocols for the safe opening of businesses and market, and resumption of congregational worship.
The statement explained, “Until these consultations result in a formal announcement authorising businesses, markets and places of worship to reopen, it will be a violation of subsisting Quarantine Orders to reopen any unauthorised facility, market or places of worship or to conduct congregational worship of any sort.”
The statement clarified that places of worship in Kaduna State were not closed by the federal government, adding that the decision to close places of worship in Kaduna State was taken and enforced in March 2020 by the state government as part of the proclamation of the Quarantine Orders in the state.
