Nigeria will once again become a cynosure in the international community.

As people all over the world and particularly in Nigeria, celebrate this year’sEaster, I join in wishing our Christian brothers and sisters a joyful and hitch-free celebration.
“I also enjoin all Christians to imbibe and allow the lessons of Easter, which are sacrifice, holiness, harmonious co-existence,lunity to refelct in their daily lives. They should imbibe the lessons of love and sacrifice which the death and ressurrrectionof Jesus Christ signify. They should pursue peace at all times and be one another’s keepers.
