365Daily– The Federal Government has declared Friday (Good Friday) April 15th, and Monday (Easter Monday) April 18th, 2022 as public holidays to mark the Easter celebrations.
The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in a statement on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, urged Christians to emulate the attributes of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace and patience, which were the attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by His ministry on earth.
He called on Christians and all Nigerians alike to use the occasion of this year’s Easter Celebration to pray for an end to all security challenges bedeviling every part of the country.
The Minister assured that the Federal Government will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the recent attacks by undesirable elements on the highways, airport, and the railway are timely brought to an end.
While wishing Christians at home and in the Diaspora a happy and peaceful Easter celebration, he also called on Nigerians to join hands with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration in its determination to bring sustainable development and usher in prosperity for all.
Aregbesola assured Nigerians that the nation is inexorably on the path to greatness, despite the present challenges confronting her.
“There will surely be light at the end of the tunnel,” he stated.
