Meanwhile, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, other government officials and Christian leaders on Sunday attended the interdenominational church prayer service organised against the bewildering COVID-19 pandemic.
Mustapha, who is also the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has expressed as many Christians are exhibiting reckless confidence over the COVID-19 pandemic. He said several Christians are not following the guidelines and protocols instituted by government.
He, however, urged Nigerians to continue in their prayers against the spread of the coronavirus.
