The Kogi State Commissioner for Rural Development, Hon. Daniel Oniel Ejigbo, has felicitated with Christian brothers and sisters, on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration.
In a statement, he said: “As recorded in the Bible, it is common knowledge that Easter is the foundation upon which the Christian faith is built. This season reminds us of the uncommon love depicted by the death of Jesus Christ. He gave His life for all.
“As we celebrate this Easter, let us all remember the plight of our brothers and sisters in the various Internally Displaced People’s (IDPs) camps, also the vulnerable groups in the society by giving something to make life better and bearable for them – be it show of love, kindness, money, skills, relief materials etc. Just give something.
“By ameliorating their sufferings, we are reminded of our duties as Muslims or Christians; we are to bear each other’s burdens.
The Commissioner urged citizens of the State to continue to support Gov. Yahaya Bello.
He said that the governor had demonstrated genuine commitment towards “moving Kogi State to enviable heights’’.
He, however, encouraged his citizens to continue to offer fervent prayers over the coronavirus pandemic.
“I wish everyone in the country especially the good people of Kogi State a happy and peaceful Easter celebration,’’ he added.
