The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), on Sunday, lauded the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other church leaders in the territory for complying with the COVID-19 guidelines for religious gathering. Chairman of FCT Ministerial Task-team on the Enforcement of COVID-19 Restrictions, Mr Ikharo Attah, gave the commendation in an interview with newsmen in Abuja, shortly after inspecting some churches to ensure total compliance of protocol on the religious gathering. He commended the First Baptist Church, Gimbiya Street in Area 11 for its strict adherence to the guidelines. According to him, “entering the church through the gate, we met some personnel who checked our temperature and gave us sanitizers to apply on our hands. We met with the pastors in FCT and directed that the guidelines be strictly adhered to,” he insisted.
