Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday approved the full reopening of worship centres in the state.

Sanwo-Olu announced the approval during a briefing in Lagos on Saturday.

The governor said mosques can hold their prayers five times daily while churches can also commence weekly services.

He, however, warned that the safety protocols released by the government must be strictly adhered to.

Worship centres in the state had been shut since March as part of measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The governor, however, on Friday, August 7 allowed mosques and churches to commence their Friday and Sunday services only.
