The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has said under the new guidelines it recently released to ease the lockdown, worship centres will only be permitted to operate for a maximum of one hour each time they meet.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, had on Monday announced the relaxation of the ban placed on worship centres which was part of measures to limit the spread of COVID-19.
Other guidelines
Mr Aliyu said church or mosque facilities must be structured to ensure observation of physical distancing by members.
Other guidelines include:
"All places of worship must sign up to full compliance with all aspects of non-pharmaceutical interventions required to protect the public from COVID-19 including but not limited to ensuring the supply of running water and soap, alcohol sanitisers at entry and exit points in all high contact locations including bathrooms.
"Responsibility for enforcement will be with the leadership, church or mosque committees and supported by local authorities including state governments.
