The Federal Government has declared Friday, 15th and Monday the 18th of April 2022 as public holidays, to mark the Easter celebrations this year.
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, announced the holiday on behalf of the federal government on Tuesday.
In a statement, Dr Shuaib Belgore, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, issued on his behalf.
Aregbesola urged Christians to emulate the attributes of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace and patience, which were the attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by his ministry on earth.
Aregbesola also called on Christians and all Nigerians alike to use the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration to pray for an end to all security challenges bedevilling 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 timely brought to an end.
“Security is everybody’s business. I therefore urge Nigerians and foreigners resident in our country to display a high sense of citizenship and public spiritedness at this critical time in the history of our country, by supporting the efforts of all security agencies in bringing peace and security of lives and property of the citizenry,” he said.
