The Federal Government has declared Friday and Monday as public holidays to mark this year’s Easter celebration.
It urges Christians to emulate the virtues of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace and patience which were attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by His ministry on the earth.
Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration, called on Christians and all Nigerians to use the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration to pray for an end to the security challenges in parts of the country.
Aregbesola’s comment is contained in a statement signed by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Begore.
