The dates for the prayers are Friday, July 3 to Sunday July 5, 2020.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday by Joseph Daramola, CAN General Secretary.
Daramola noted that the intercession was to seek God’s mercy for the total defeat of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria and across the globe.
He recalled that since April 30, 2020, NIREC has been calling on Christians and Muslims to join the national online weekly prayer in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary to Government of the Federation (OSGF) and stakeholders.
