The Federal Government has declared Friday, April 2nd, and Monday, April 2021 as public holidays to celebrate Easter.
According to a statement signed by the Director of Press, Ministry of Interior, the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on Tuesday, urged Christians to emulate the attributes of forbearance, forgiveness, kindness, humility, love, peace and patience, which were demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
The minister is also asking the Christian faithful to use the occasion of this year’s Easter Celebration to pray for the Peace, Unity, and Progress of our country.
Aregbesola assured that the Federal Government would leave nothing to chance in dealing decisively with the spate of kidnapping, banditry and other crimes and criminality being perpetrated by enemies of the country in parts of Nigeria.
While wishing Christians, both at home and abroad, a happy and peaceful Easter celebration, the minister called on Nigerians to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in its determination to make life more meaningful for all.
