In line with the prevailing protocol put in place by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, restricting large gatherings, President Muhammadu Buhari has cancelled all forms of the usual Christmas homage by religious and community leaders in the Federal Capital Territory.
This was contained in a brief statement to Daily Post on Thursday signed by Mallam Garba Shehu, the President’s Spokesman.
The President urged all citizens to, in line with the prescribed protocol, observe social distancing, use face masks, wash hands frequently and avoid overcrowding of public spaces, markets, shopping centres, offices and places of worship.
President Buhari equally appealed to citizens to discourage all non-essential travels during the holiday season.
He wished everyone a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year ahead.
