At the First Baptist Church, Gimbiya street, Area 11, where Reverend Israel Akanji, the Northern Central Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) worshipped, Attah expressed satisfaction with the church’s compliance.

“Entering the church through the gate, we met some personnel who checked our temperature and gave us sanitiser to clean our hands.

“As we entered, we saw several hand washing points. This is what the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, headed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha and the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, want to see,” he said.

The taskforce chairman said that the church had truly proved itself to be the light and salt of the world, as Jesus Christ had admonished in Mathew, Chapter 5 verses 13 to 17.

Attah also commended the Catholic Church in Maitama for opening a register for members, as parts of efforts to make contact tracing easy, should anyone show signs of COVID-19 infection.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the taskforce members also visited the ECWA Church, Maitama, where they met the Chairman of the FCT chapter of CAN, Reverend Samson Jonah.

Responding, Akanji said that the church had promised to comply with the COVID-19 guidelines.

He commended the FCT minister and the taskforce for embarking on monitoring of churches to know the level of compliance.

Akanji said that the church’s compliance was not only to obey government’s directives, but also, to safeguard the health and safety of the worshippers.

He assured the taskforce that CAN would continue to do its best to ensure that churches sustained compliance with the COVID-19 guidelines.
