The members of the House of Representatives have asked the Federal
Government to issue a directive to religious houses to stop open
worship.
The resolution was passed by the lawmakers during plenary on Wednesday
as a means to curb the spread of the Coronavirus.
Other resolutions passed include, anyone entering the National Assembly
should be tested and lawmakers should stop receiving visitors at the
complex.
Also, Nigeria should sign an agreement with Singapore and other
certified countries for the production and supply of COVID-19 test kits.
Following the resolutions passed, the lawmakers, however, voted
massively against an amendment to urge the Federal Government to issue a
stay at home directive to all schools for 14 days.
The lawmakers further passed a resolution for the Minister of Health,
Dr. Osagie Ehanire to brief the leadership of the House on a weekly
basis, on COVID 19 updates.
