The federal government, on Tuesday, declared Friday, April 2, and Monday, April 5, as public holidays to mark the 2021 Easter celebrations.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who charged Christians to emulate the attributes of Jesus.
The minister appealed to them to use the occasion of this year’s Easter Celebration to pray for the Peace, Unity, and Progress of our country.
The minister also used the privilege to address the insecurity concerns in the country, saying the government will do everything possible to ensure that the spate of armed banditry and other crimes will be dealt with.
“Security is everybody’s business, I, therefore, encourage all Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria, to display a 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,” he said.
