Usually, the National Mosque in Abuja, Nigeria hosts thousands of worshippers. However, due to #COVID19 pandemic, physical gatherings have been suspended.

Watch to see how religious leaders & devotees in Abuja #TakeResponsibility by adopting alterative prayers practices.

We are aware of the message circulating that NCDC will facilitate a #COVID19 relief package for Nigerians. This is FALSE.

The public is advised to disregard this message.

NCDC’s mandate is to support States in preparing, detecting & responding to infectious disease outbreaks.

Across the country, health workers are working very hard to manage #COVID19 cases to recovery.
