Christians in Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi State have been called upon to ensure that they live in peace, unity and harmony with one another and other adherents of other faiths for the development of the area.
The call was made by the Chairman of the Council, Iliya Habila while addressing Christians at the St Dominic’s Catholic Church, Bar Arewa in Bogoro LGA of the state on the new year worship service on Wednesday.
The Chairman particularly advised youths to shun violence, drug abuse and embrace education and other skills to ensure self-reliance just as he appealed to them to continue to pray for the Governments at all levels to achieve their aims of providing social amenities to the people.
As part of activities to mark the new year celebration in the area, the Chairman visited patients at the General Hospital in Bogoro where he sympathised with their conditions and prayed God to heal them and grant them the strength to engage in their various endeavours in the year 2020.
