The announcement was made on the Twitter handle of the Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello.
The tweet reads: ”The sermon and prayers are to be conducted within thirty minutes; Muslims are advised to adhere strictly to the precautionary measures taken by Government on the containment of coronavirus pandemic in the State.”
