From Isaac Anumihe, Abuja
Minister of Works David Umahi has urged Nigerians to build a deeper connection with God through love in his Christmas message, joining Christians all over the world in celebrating the occasion.
The minister also urged Nigerians to have an attitude of love, which is the essence of the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
“Indeed, this commemorative celebration offers a great opportunity for self-reflection on the solid clout of that glorious morning when Jesus was born and the purpose of His birth, which is to make His love available to all mankind and restore our intimate relationships with God Almighty. We are called by this commemoration to imitate His virtues of love, charity, faith, and hope and to share the values we learnt from His birth with warmth and tenderness,” Umahi said in his message.

He continued: “As a people, we are called to the significance of Christmas as it is on the existential path to our collective peace; we are called to build a deeper connection with God through an attitude of love, gratitude, and recognition which resonates in the habits that honour our relationships and diversities. Great and mighty things are being done by President Tinubu’s administration to secure a new order in our developmental trajectory and bequeath a stronger and better future for Nigeria that is bound by limitless opportunities, inclusive of the works sector which he is turning around in the most magnificent manner.
“For this, we publicly express our gratitude to Mr President for his developmental initiatives, which are bold and visionary. I urge all Nigerians to remain steadfast in encouraging and supporting the tenets of the Christmas festival, which is a sense of community, love, compassion, and goodwill towards all,” he said.
