President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigerians to hold steadfast to hope and unity as the country navigates through its current economic and social challenges. In his Easter message to the nation, delivered on Sunday, the president called on citizens to draw strength from the significance of the season and remain committed to building a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.
In a statement released by the Presidency, Tinubu emphasized that Easter, a period symbolic of renewal and sacrifice, presents a timely opportunity for reflection, compassion, and collective resolve.
“As we commemorate the resurrection of Christ, we are reminded of the power of faith and the promise of a new dawn,” the president said. “Despite the difficulties we face today, we must remain hopeful and united in our pursuit of a better Nigeria.”
The president acknowledged the economic strain and security challenges affecting many Nigerians but reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to delivering tangible reforms. He pointed to recent efforts in infrastructure, job creation, and public sector accountability as signs of progress.
“We are on a path that demands patience and resilience. My government is working tirelessly to ensure no Nigerian is left behind,” he added. “Let the spirit of Easter rekindle our commitment to peace, tolerance, and nation-building.”
President Tinubu also extended his appreciation to religious leaders and civil society groups for their role in promoting dialogue and community engagement during turbulent times.
Across the country, churches held Easter services marked by prayers for peace, national unity, and economic recovery. Many citizens expressed cautious optimism in the face of the president’s message, hoping for a more secure and stable future.
The Easter address comes amid growing calls for economic reforms and social welfare expansion, as inflation and unemployment continue to challenge millions of Nigerian households.
As Christians celebrate the season of resurrection, Tinubu’s appeal for hope seeks to galvanize public support and reinforce faith in Nigeria’s democratic and developmental trajectory.
