Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has suspended the planned reopening of the religious centres in the state.
The governor said the decision was necessary due to rising cases of coronavirus in the state.
Recall that Lifestylegist had earlier reported the state fixed June 19 for reopening of the worship centres in the state.
He said,
“Consequently, we are confronted with two choices – yield to the demand of those who want the restrictions to be further relaxed or even completely removed, even if this is at variance with the dictates of incontrovertible data analysis and scientific opinion; or tow the path that preserves public health and safety, even if not so popular.
“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.
“We are consequently suspending our initially slated reopening of places of worship.”
