I am the one who usually gets tired of selling and eventually I do run out of stock. However, both Lagos and Ogun state governments have insisted that it was illogical to reopen churches as the number of COVID-19 cases keeps rising in the two states.

Similarly, Ogun State Government said it consulted with the CAN leadership in the state before deciding on closing the churches.
