In the spirit of Easter, Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has called on Christians to intensify their prayers for an end to the insecurity plaguing the state and the nation as a whole. The Governor's call was contained in an Easter congratulatory message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim.
Governor Bago urged Christians to sustain their prayers beyond the Easter celebration period. He noted that Easter, which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is a significant celebration and a cornerstone of the Christian faith. He said, “The season depicts love, sacrifice and forgiveness as epitomised by Jesus Christ.”
As he extended his felicitations to Christians, the Governor encouraged them to use the Easter season as a time for solemn reflection and to embrace all the virtues of Jesus Christ. He reiterated his administration's unwavering commitment to tackling the security challenges facing the State.
Governor Bago also assured the people of Niger State that he is not resting on his oars in his efforts to realise his policy thrusts for the "New Niger". This Easter message serves as a reminder of the Governor's dedication to ensuring peace and security in the state, even as Christians around the world celebrate this significant event in their faith.
