President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resilient as the country navigates through economic and security challenges, assuring citizens of better days ahead.
In his 2025 Easter message to the nation, the President joined Christians in Nigeria and around the world in commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He described the occasion as a time to reflect on the enduring values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope.
“Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face. The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day,” Tinubu assured.
Addressing recent security concerns, the President expressed sadness over the loss of lives in parts of the country and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to restoring peace and security.
“I understand the pain and fear these incidents have caused. Let me assure you that my administration’s resolve to restore peace and security remains unshakable,” Tinubu stated.
He disclosed that he has issued clear directives to the Armed Forces and relevant agencies to act decisively and swiftly.
The President also commended the courage of the security personnel, stating that Nigeria was “turning the tide and making steady progress in reclaiming peace and stability.”
On the economy, the President acknowledged the hardship many citizens are experiencing, but highlighted that early signs of recovery were beginning to show.
“We are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians,” he said, while thanking Nigerians for their patience and resilience.
In a show of global solidarity, Tinubu also used the opportunity to extend well wishes to Pope Francis, who recently recovered from illness. “We pray that his renewed strength continues to inspire his leadership and service to humanity,” he added.
The President concluded his message with a call for national unity and faith in Nigeria’s future.
“The task before us is enormous, but together, with faith and determination, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Our unity and resilience are our greatest strengths,” he said.
President Tinubu wished all Nigerians a peaceful and joyous Easter celebration.
