The Kwara State Government has cancelled the congregation Eid-el-Kabir prayer to curb the rising COVID-19 cases in the state.
The Deputy Governor and Chairman of the Kwara State Technical Committee on COVID-19, Kayode Alabi, made this disclosure in a statement made available to journalists on Friday.
He said the government is setting up a task force to enforce all the new directives, including new guidelines on transport unions and market associations.
“The Kwara State shopping mall (Shoprite), the Amusement Park, markets, and University of Ilorin Zoological Garden are to close down on Eid Day and the day after Eid,” Kayode Alabi said.
The government also announced a ban on vigils in churches and mosques while restating the ban on concert, clubbing, beer parlour, and bar in hotels.
