Kwara State House of Assembly has postponed its resumption of plenary earlier scheduled for Tuesday, March 24.
The Clerk of the House, Halimat Jummai Kperogi, said in a statement on Monday that the resumption was postponed until further notice.
The clerk said the postponement was in line with strategies the government was taking to avert the CONVID-19 pandemic, especially the closure of public institutions.
Kperogi disclosed that a new date for the resumption of plenary will be announced at a later date.
The House of Assembly urged the people of the state to abide by recommendations on how to stay safe from the CONVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has suspended all congregational prayers in Mosques across the Ilorin Emirate and the state at large.
A statement signed by his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, on Monday said that the monarch gave the directive after a meeting with the Ulamas.
The statement described the decision as a measure towards curtailing the spread of coronavirus pandemic in the state.
It said the Emir urged all the District Heads, Village Heads, Ward Heads, religions leaders, community leaders, associations and groups to ensure strict compliance with the new order in their respective domains in the collective interest of humanity.
