FCT minister Nyesom Wike has urged residents of the territory to submit to the will of God as Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mr Wike expressed confidence that with President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, things would keep improving for Nigerians.
He congratulated Abuja residents for the grace to celebrate another Christmas and called for total rededication to the service of God and submission to His laws and commandments.
The minister, who stressed the need to show love to one another, prayed to God for many more Christmas celebrations in good health.
“Therefore, we should use the occasion of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ to rededicate ourselves to the service of God and humanity.
“We should also ensure total obedience to the commandments of God.
