Pray for Nigeria!

Enugu State Governor Sullivan Iheanacho Chime urges Nigerians to spend more time in prayer for the progress, growth and unity of the nation.

Governor Chime pointed out that Jesus Christ whose birth we celebrate, extolled the power of prayer and relied heavily on its efficacy in very difficult times during his life on earth.

In a Christmas message in Enugu, signed by his Special Adviser on Media, VinMartin Obiora Ilo, Chime who recalled our journey as a nation since independence, said that Nigeria needs God’s guidance more than ever in confronting many of the challenges facing our country today.

While assuring indigenes and visitors coming home for Christmas that they were returning to an Enugu State , where security of life and property was guaranteed and most of the infrastructure are working, he restated his preparedness to sustain the development efforts of the present administration and thanked them for their continued support and cooperation.

Enugu Governor, also, solicited for more prayers by all Nigerians for the quick recovery of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who he described as a God fearing leader, who has worked assiduously in his determination to move Nigeria forward and has also created the enabling environment for state Governments to function optimally.

While wishing all Nigerians a merry Christmas and God’s divine blessings in the New Year, Chime congratulated Nigeria on the golden celebrations of 50 years of her Independence as a nation state in 2010.
