SSA To Governor Urges Adherents To Pray During Lent And Ramadan Period

The Senior Special Assistant to the Nasarawa State Governor on Christian Religions affairs, Venerable Jubruila Yerima Dabong has urged adherents of Christianity and Islam in the state to use the lent season and the Ramadan period to pray for peace and stability of the State.

The Governor’s aide who made the call in an exclusive interview with NBS news in his office in Lafia Monday, noted that it was God’s divine arrangement for Christians and Muslims to observe this year’s lent and Ramadan fast at the same time for the purpose of purification and reconciliation, thus urging adherents of the two religions to promote peace and unity of the state.

Venerable Dabong advised that as the two spiritual exercises gradually climax into Easter and Eid-el fitr celebrations, believers should endeavour to use the celebration moments to demonstrate love to one another, especially the less privileged in the society.

While appreciating Governor Abdullahi Sule for championing peaceful co-existence in the state, the SSA on Christian Religion affairs solicited for the support of all citizens to enable the government deliver on its mandate to the people.
