In an action that can be described as leading by example, the Aso Villa Chapel held its Sunday Service online in compliance with social distancing rules of the government in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

The service which was livestreamed to members across the world was not physically attended by the Chaplain and the technical staff.

Disclosing the development via Twitter, Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, explained that less than ten persons were physically available.

“Aso Villa Chapel just concluded an online service now, where worshippers were able to stay in their homes and be part of a Sunday service,” he said in a tweet.

He added that, “We were blessed with the livestreaming, kudos to the Villa Chaplain and the less than 10 people (number of staff on ground) that made it happen”.
