The governor implored the people of the state to continue to pray to God.

He thanked God for sparing his life and those of millions of Lagosians as the state continued to see a reduction in the numbers of confirmed cases of coronavirus.

He stated: “Following the rude, unexpected and difficult events of  COVID-19, which we’ve all witnessed in Year 2020 beginning from early December 2019 in Wuhan city of China, there can be not better befitting theme for our Synod than to ‘Pray, Serve and Grow’.

“We’re to pray in order to acknowledge our limitations as human beings because God remains sovereign. He remains the Supreme God; He knows it all and he is in charge of all circumstances we human beings might face.”
