Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has lifted the ban placed on religious congregations across the state with immediate effect, to allow religious bodies have their normal worship and services.
The directive was contained in a statement signed by Kingsley Fanwo, the Commissioner for Information and Communication and made available to journalists in Lokoja on Thursday.
He however urged all religious leaders to put in place preventive and precautionary measures in their various worship centres in order to contain the outbreak and spread of coronavirus in the state.
He enjoined the religious leaders to continue to pray for the end of the pandemic so that the world could return to normal life and activities.
Bello urged religious leaders to ensure that sanitizers are provided for all worshippers at the entrance of churches and mosques and that sitting arrangements should follow social distancing.
He also urged churches and mosques to make their services as brief as possible in order not to keep a large crowd of worshipers within an enclosed confinement for a long period of time.
