The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has declared Friday 2nd and Monday 5th April, 2021, as public holidays to mark this year's Easter celebration.
This was disclosed by Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, urging Christians to emulate the attributes of forbearance, forgiveness, kindness, humility, love, peace and patience, which were demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
While calling on Christians to use the occasion to pray for peace, unity, and progress of the country, he sassured that the federal government will not leave any stone unturned in dealing decisively with the spate of kidnapping, armed banditry and other crimes and criminality being perpetrated by enemies of the country.
He said,
“Security is everybody’s business, I therefore encourage all Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria, to display high level of patriotism at this critical time in the history of our country, to support the efforts of all security agencies in ensuring peace and security of lives and property of the citizenry."
While wishing Christians both at home and abroad a happy and peaceful Easter Celebration, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola called on Nigerians to join hands with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Administration in its determination to make life more meaningful for all.
