The Federal Government has declared Friday and Monday as holidays for Easter celebrations.
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, made this known on Wednesday in a statement signed by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Begore.
Aregbesola called on Christians to emulate the virtues of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace, and patience that were attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by his ministry while on earth.
The minister also asked Christians and all Nigerians alike to use the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration to pray for an end to all security challenges in Nigeria.
