Niger State Govt. Bans Salah Festivities.

The Niger State Government has banned all Salah related festivities across the state, as a safety precaution to curb the spread of covid-19 in the state.

In a statement issued by Secretary to the Government of Niger State (SSG) and Chairman, Niger State Task Force on COVID-19 Pandemic, Ahmed Ibrahim Matane disclosed that while the State Governor granted permission for the conduct of Eid congregational prayers in Jumma’at Mosques across the State, such would be done under strict compliance to COVID-19 safety protocols.

Matane urged Muslims to use this period of Eid-el Kabir Sallah celebration to increase supplications and prayers to Almighty Allah for an end to the coronavirus pandemic as well as security challenges bedevilling the State and the country at large.
