Christians on Sunday latched into prayers, seeking God’s help to stop the spread of the virus.
It was the final day of the three-day prayer and fasting organized by the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC).
Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 Control Boss Mustapha attended the service in Abuja.
It was with the theme: “O Lord, heal our land of COVID-19 Pandemic”.
Mustapha called on the leaders of the church to always teach their congregation the truth about the pandemic and how they can stay safe for their families and communities, adding that: “COVID-19 is real”.
Mustapha who is Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) said the pandemic had come to stay.
He said: “if you have no business going out, stay at home, it is scriptural and I will undertone this with a quotation for Proverbs 14:16 where the bible says the Wise are cautious and avoid danger, fools plonks ahead with reckless confidence. And I see a lot of Christians exhibiting reckless confidence and the Bible describes them as fools.
“Stay at home if you don’t have business going out, that is the safest place you have, if you have every genuine reason to go out, as mandatory, wear a face mask.
