Nigerians have been urged to show a heart of gratitude to God for witnessing another Christmas despite the turbulences associated with the year 2020.
This call was made Friday, by the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, while attending Christmas service at the St. James Anglican Church, Remo Diocese, Iperu.
Abiodun said though the year started with hopes and aspirations, it ended up as an unusual and challenging one.
“We have every cause to thank God for making us to see this Christmas. This year is an unusual and challenging year despite the fact that it started with hopes and aspirations,” he noted.
The governor restated his commitment to giving all parts of the state equal attention, adding that his administration has made moderate achievements in the areas of infrastructure, social well-being, youth empowerment and employment generation as well as education and agriculture.
He maintained that despite the negative effects of Covid-19 pandemic and the EndSARS protests that disrupted socio-economic activities in the state, his administration remained undaunted, resulting in the state being adjudged the best in education, agriculture, housing and information and communication technology (ICT).
Meanwhile, Venerable Samuel Ajileye, in his Christmas message stated that the birth of Jesus Christ signifies love and selflessness, charged Christians to show love to fellow humans.
