The Federal Government has declared Friday, 7 and Monday, 10, April 2023 as public holidays to mark this year’s Easter celebration.

This was confirmed in a statement released on Wednesday by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, in Abuja and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr. Shuaib Belgore.

Aregbesola urged Christians to emulate the virtues of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace and patience which were attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by His ministry on the earth.

The Minister called on Christians and all Nigerians to use the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration to pray for an end to the security challenges in parts of the country.

He stated that ‘security is everybody’s business, I, therefore, urge Nigerians and foreigners resident in our country to display a high sense of citizenships and public spiritedness by supporting the efforts of all security agencies in bringing peace and security of lives and property of the citizenry’.

The Minister assured that the Federal Government is doing all that is necessary to ensure a peaceful transition of government following the peaceful conduct of elections.

While wishing Christians at home and in the Diaspora a happy and peaceful Easter celebration, Aregbesola also enjoined them to love their neighbours through acts of kindness and generosity of spirit, with the well-to-do sharing their substance with the less privileged around them.
