From Yusuf Mairiga Shekarau, Jos
The National Executive Council of Jamma’atu Izalstil Bid’ah Wa’ikammatus Sunnah (JIBWIS) under the leadership of Ash-Sheikh Muhammad Sani Yahaya Jingir has reversed its earliest position and now declared absolute compliance to health, safety and social distancing measures taken by the Federal, and State Governments against the spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria.
The Organization, in a statement personally signed by its head of administration, Shiekh Nasir Abdul Muhyi and made available to newsmen Monday in Jos, said “In demonstration of this timely tragedy of Covid-19 Pandemic, JIBWIS has already implemented safety measures, such as provision of hand sanitizers in offices and places of worships, distancing policy and locked down all its Nursery, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Schools having over 7-million pupils/students nationwide”.
The statement reads in part: “National Seminar for Qur’anic Recitation is hereby suspended; Judges, Imams and other juristic participants are to note with high sense of seriousness.”
The organization further reiterated commitment to supporting government’s initiative against the escalation of COVID-19 and any measure that seeks to promote public safety and welfare of Nigerians at this critical period on the records.
