Take A Look why FG Needs to Open Churches, Mosques, and Schools: CAN REACTS

The special assistant to the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Adebayo Olajide while speaking on the President’s behalf, Bishop Samson Ayokunle has argued that since the government has allowed market and offices to reopen, they should also allow churches and mosques to be reopened as well as commence their activities.

Having recalled that the president, Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the gradual easing of the lockdown across the country along side offices, banks and markets to open within a time frame while curfew is imposed from 8pm to 6am daily.

While speaking on a broadcast, Pastor Oladeji has harped on the role of the church in combating the coronavirus pandemic.

Oladeji further urge the federal government to allow churches and mosques to be reopened for worship.

“If the federal government can reopen markets, and other offices, if the Nigerian Port Authority can be opened since coronavirus became a pandemic in Nigeria, it is very wrong to close the church,” he said

“Churches and mosques are having rules and regulations guiding their weekly activities as well as the way they meet in churches and mosques. Before they close service, they advised that there should be sanitizers, water for people to wash their hands and social distancing should be observed. There is no churches and mosques that are against that,” he added.

More so, education is more of an important sector in the economy. Observing that Students in Nursery, primary, secondary and Varsities had been on a break for months now, there is really a need for the government to consider their reopening.

Even while they were closed, the coronavirus cases kept increasing. It is very certain the cases will go down gradually has the previous disasters like Ebola and lassa did go down during their existence.

Many academic session, school owners and teachers have been recorded affected already.

Looking through what he said, we can observe he did has a point, but we all have different opinions and perhaps a different opinion entirely.

What do you observe about what he said?

Is it really necessary churches, mosques and schools are been allowed to reopen?
