Reinforce your faith during Lenten season, Niger gov urges Christians

Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has called on Christians to strengthen their faith in God as they embark on the 2025 Lenten season, a 40-day period of fasting leading up to Easter.

In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, Governor Umaru Bago emphasized the solemn nature of Lent, encouraging believers to engage in deep reflection, repentance, and heightened spiritual commitment.

The Governor highlighted that Lent serves as a pivotal time for self-discipline, sacrifice, fervent prayer, humility, and obedience to God’s will.

He noted that this year’s Lenten season closely coincides with the commencement of Ramadan and suggested that this overlap presents a unique opportunity for the community to unite in prayer for the welfare of the state and the nation.
