Pray for Nigeria, Northern govs urge Christians

The Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) has called on Christian faithful to use the opportunity of Easter celebrations to pray for the quick resolution of the security challenges confronting the nation.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu at the weekend  in Minna called on Nigerians to be mindful of the need to continue to work for peace which underscores the essence of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday.

In a statement signed by Governor Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo, the forum said terrorism was alien to our culture and urged all Nigerians to work together to put an end to the senseless killing of defenceless citizens.
The forum also urged Christians to imbibe the ideals of perseverance, sacrifice and commitment to the will of God which characterized the Lenten season.
