Lagos to allow Churches to reopen on 7th August

by Daniel Breakforth

Nigeria’s commercial capital Lagos will allow churches to resume in-person services from August 7, the state’s governor said in a press briefing on Saturday.

Lagos state, home to the megacity of the same name with 20 million people, has more than 15,000 confirmed cases and 192 deaths, by far the largest share of Nigeria’s 43,151 cases.

It ordered widespread closures and a lockdown in March to halt the spread of the highly infectious virus.

The lockdown was eased in early May, but Sanwo-Olu scuppered plans to reopen churches in June, citing a continued rise in cases.

Christianity is one of the 2 widely practised religions in Lagos with over 30,000 churches in Year 2003 according to Church Historian Charles Peter Wagner. Christianity is also growing wildly in the rest of Nigeria, and houses of worship in normal times often host services with thousands of people.

Houses of worship will however only be allowed to open for services once a week at no more than 50% capacity.
