CAN Laments 50% Capacity Crossover Religious Gathering Directive By FG

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has frowned at the 50 per cent capacity crossover religious gathering directive by the federal government due to the COVID-19 surge.

The Spokesman for the CAN President, Rev. Bayo Oladeji, noted that such directives are always issued during Christian holidays.

“Earlier in a statement, we asked all Christians to observe the COVID-19 protocols. But it is very unfortunate that they always bear their fangs during Christmas. That is when they always remember the need to enforce COVID-19 protocols.

“Nobody is enforcing anything in the markets. If you go to the banks, you will see crowds. Even if you go to the airports, you will see crowds. There is no social distancing. I was at the international airport two weeks ago. People were standing. There is no social distancing,” he said.
