The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr Boss Mustapha, other government officials and Christian leaders on Sunday attended the interdenominational church prayer service against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The service is in line with the three days of fasting and prayer organised by the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council, which ends today, while the Islamic prayer was held on Friday in Abuja where special prayers were rendered against the deadly virus.
Recall that the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Wednesday asked Christians and Muslims to embark on 3 days as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise across the country.
This comes as the nation records 603 more COVID-19 cases, raising the nation’s total confirmed infections above the 28,000 mark.
Meanwhile, Nigeria currently has a total number of 28,167 infections of the COVID-19 disease, with a fatality rate of 634.
