The minister underscored the importance of fostering collective harmony during this observance.

He reassured citizens of President Bola Tinubu's commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to foster national growth and development.

"Furthermore, he encouraged Nigerians to extend love and goodwill to their neighbours through acts of kindness and generosity.

"The minister wished all Christians a blissful Easter celebration and extended warm holiday greetings to all Nigerians," the statement added.
