The speaker stated that Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, noting that it is a time of gratitude, prayer, and renewal of faith, as well as a celebration of love shared among family and friends.

“On behalf of the Nasarawa State Government and Nasarawa State House of Assembly, I bring you greetings, and I congratulate you on the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ/ Christmas.

“Christmas is a period for us to show ourselves love, affection and give to the needy in society. Let’s share with others, especially those who are less privileged, what we have.

“This will not only give them a sense of belonging but will also improve their standard of living”, Jatau said.

The speaker donated N1,460,000 for the development of the Church.

Jatau called on the people of Kokona LGA and the state at large to continue to support Gov. Abdullahi Sule to succeed.

Earlier, Rev. Bitrus Kaya, Reverend-in-Charge of ECWA GoodNews, Garaku, while reading from John 3:16, urged Christians to continue showing love to one another to inherit the kingdom of God.

He said that John 3:16 said For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. As Christ loves us, we should also love one another,” he added.
