The resurrection of Jesus from the grave signifies a defeat from the power of death and hope to all human races that Salvation through him can make wonders by those who propagate it.
Honourable Federal Commissioner, National Population Commission (NPC), Representing Adamawa State, Dr. Clifford T.O. Zirra, Fcpa made the above statement in a congratulatory Press Statement, celebrating Christians in Nigeria for witnessing another round of Easter Sunday, a day very important to adherents of Christian religion.
According to him Sunday Morning was the day the Bible recorded that Jesus resurrected from the death, a moment that signifies victory over all and spiritual rituals that further entails unity, peaceful coexistence for development of all sorts to thrive.
The NPC chieftain is however calling on all Nigerians to use the Easter occasion to pray for the coming 2023 census to succeed that has been planned to kick start from 3rd May to 7th May, 2023.
Zirra a passionate Nigerian said a successful Census is the hall mark of development and a victory to underdevelopment, and is very important to all governments to use it for planning, budgeting and distribution of resources.
He continued to say there is power on corporate prayers and Nigerians at this Easter and the holy month of Ramadan should unite in the spirit of both seasons to build a stronger relationship that will conquer disunity.
While enjoining Nigerians to make sure that the forces that will ever forestall successful conduct of the 2023 census exercise should not stand or see the light of day, he said God had availed Nigerians the opportunity to unite and stay together as one.
“We are serving a unique God who has seasons and times, the census came at a time that both Ramadan and Easter Seasons coincided. It means we all have so many things in common that will always bring us together .
“I’m urging both the Christians and Muslims to pray for the coming census exercise to succeed and I’m imploring us all to support and cooperate with the NPC officials during the census exercise .
“We are to ensure every bit of the exercise is a success, while you are to make sure everyone is counted.
“YOU COUNT, BE COUNTED” this is my reaffirmation. Congratulation for seeing the 2023 Easter, Ramadan in the coming Census.” Zirra said
