Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has called on Nigerians to utilise the significance of Christmas to offer sustained prayers for God’s divine intervention and abiding grace for the nation to surmount its various challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the second economic recession in five years.

In his message, Gov. Ugwuanyi felicitated with Christians, the good people of Enugu State and indeed all Nigerians, wishing them Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

The governor urged Nigerians not to lose faith in God in the face of adversity, but to remain committed to the Good News that Jesus Christ was born to bring salvation to mankind.

He stressed that the Yuletide offers Nigerians the opportunity to reflect soberly, pray for the country and her leaders, as well as engage in activities that promote peace, unity, security and progress.

While thanking ‘Ndi Enugu’ for their love, goodwill, solidarity, support and unceasing prayers, Gov. Ugwuanyi reassured them of his firm resolve to sustain the tempo of peace and good governance in the state as well as to continue to serve them with the fear of God.
