The FCT Minister Barr. Nysome Wike in an Easter message to felicitate with Christians in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has called on residents to live harmoniously in peace and unity.
Wike on Friday wished Christians a joyous Easter season celebration.
He said, “On behalf of the FCT Administration, I warmly felicitate with all residents of the Federal Capital Territory, especially the Christian faithful on the joyous celebration of Easter.”
The minister also used the season to congratulate Christians on the successful completion of the Lenten season and prayed that their supplications finds favour with the Almighty.

The message read,”Easter, is a season that reminds us of the timeless virtues of compassion, sacrifice, and forgiveness. These virtues, embodied by Jesus Christ, are not only central to the Christian faith but are values we should all strive to uphold in our daily lives.”

” As the nation’s capital and the symbol of our collective unity, the FCT occupies a unique place in the heart of our great country. We must continue to be the example of peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and harmonious living.”

The minister urged all residents to embrace the spirit of Easter by showing love to one another, being our brother’s keeper, and fostering an environment where unity, tolerance, and understanding prevail.

“Let us also use this season to offer special prayers for our dear President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and all our leaders at every level. May God Almighty continue to guide them in the pursuit of the Renewed Hope Agenda for a better, more prosperous Nigeria.”

“The FCT Administration remains resolutely committed to the Territory’s infrastructural development and the sustained provision of quality education, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, security and other vital social services.”

” I call on all residents to continue supporting and cooperating with the Administration by fulfilling their civic responsibilities, particularly in tax payment and compliance with government regulations.”

“Your contributions play a vital role in funding the infrastructure, services, and development projects we all rely on. By meeting your obligations and supporting the various reform programmes of the administration, you are directly helping to build a stronger, more efficient, and people-centred Federal Capital Territory.”

The minister urged everyone to remain security conscious, by being vigilant, report any suspicious activity to relevant authorities, and to ensure that safety precautions are observed throughout the festive period.

I pray that this Easter brings forth renewed hope, peace, and joy to your homes. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and memorable Easter celebration, the minister said.
