As Christians in Nigeria join the global Christaindom in obsevering the 2025 Lenten Season , the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission,NCPC, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, has enjoined Christians in the country to uphold the values of justice and fairness.

Bishop Adegbite gave this charge in a message to mark Ash Wednesday the begining of the 40 Days of the Lenten season.

He emphasized the importance of putting God at the center of their fasting and prayers at a time like this .

He said,”When you fast, you must uphold justice and fairness, God must be at the centre of it all.”

According to Bishop Adegbite, the Lent period is a season of sober reflection, abstinence from food, water, and other pleasures, observed for forty days and forty nights.
He encouraged Nigerians to continue praying together, regardless of their religious affiliations, highlighting the significance of interfaith harmony in the country.

The NCPC boss specifically called for prayers for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other top government officials, seeking God’s wisdom and direction for them.

He prayed for the mercies of God upon Nigeria and Nigerians during this fasting period and beyond.
