The Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has urged its members nationwide to suspend all activities due to the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

PMAN President, Dr. Obi Casmir revealed that the precaution is meant to curb the spread of the virus.

According to him, the association had to adhere to the directive of the Federal Ministry of Health so the country can stand tall in these trying times.

He added that club owners, event places and show promoters should abide by PMAN rules for the benefit of us all.

His words, “The National Working Committee (NWC) of PMAN is calling on its state chapters to henceforth stop all meetings till further notice.

“As basic protective measures against the deadly new corona virus, we have decided to call off all kinds of gathering of more than 15 people in our association.

“This is in line with the directive of the Federal Ministry of Health.

“At the same time, we are calling on club owners, event places and show promoters to abide by the rules for the benefit of everyone.

“I know it’s not going to be easy for our musicians since show performance is our major means of survival, but life comes first.”

“In this time of worldwide tribulations, we shall stand tall.”
