The statement quotes the Speaker as calling on believers to use the period to sustain their prayers for the nation to overcome its emerging challenges.

He emphasized the need for citizens to keep hope alive in the face of economic challenges.

Speaker Jatau enjoined the citizens to use their diversity as a source of unity and strength. He called on youths and other Nigerians to remain committed to constituted authorities and to champion the course of peace, unity and development of the society.

While calling for support to government and leaders at all levels to succeed, Speaker Jatau tasked religious, traditional and community leaders to continue to preach peace and unity among their people.
