This year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebration has come at a time when we must continue to be cautious and #TakeResponsibility for our health and those around us.

We call on all worshipers to adhere to public health guidelines to prevent spread of the virus

#CelebrateResponsibly.

Nigerians are urged to #TakeResponsibility. Adhere to all #COVID19 preventive measures as you celebrate

✅ Avoid all non-essential travel within & outside Nigeria
✅ Avoid mass gatherings
✅ Observe physical distancing in public places
✅ Always wear a face mask in public places

#CelebrateResponsibly

The #COVID19 outbreak is ongoing and the Delta variant has been detected in Nigeria, which is more dangerous and spreads faster.

Wear a mask properly at all times in public spaces as this prevents transmission of the virus.

#CelebrateResponsibly

As you celebrate, remember that the #COVID19 outbreak is not yet over.

✅Wear a face mask
✅Wash your hands frequently
✅Avoid large gatherings.

There will be many more festivities to celebrate, #TakeResponsibility to stay safe.
