He urged them not to see these directives as contrary to the christian faith in God but to see it as measures to curtail the spread of the deadly virus as “faith without work is meaningless”.
The guild lines included Ensuring and maintaining social distancing in churches, providing hand washing buckets at the church premises, use of face masks, postponement of midweek services, Vigils and other church programs, not more than 50 worshippers in a service and also not staying more than an hour in a Sunday service. He warned that churches who refuse to comply will be sealed by the LGA task force.

He called on the Chairman who he described as a man of honour and a faithful servant sent by God to also spread this news to the markets and in the villages for wider compliance. He said they have been praying for the quick recovery of the State Governor, HE Victor Okezie Ikpeazu phD and also for the Chairman and LGA at large.
