The Federal Government has declared Friday fifteenth and Monday eighteenth April 2022, Good Friday and Easter Monday respectively, as Public Holidays, to mark this year’s Easter celebration.
The minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the federal government at Abuja, urged Christians to emulate the 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 further urged Christians and Nigerians in general 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 brought to an end.
While wishing Christians at home and in the Diaspora a happy and peaceful Easter celebration, the minister also assured them of President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to bring sustainable development and usher in prosperity for all.
