Mrs. Oluwakemi Akomolede, the Acting State Director of the National Orientation Agency in Ekiti State, made the call, while emphasizing the need to use this sacred period as an opportunity for spiritual upliftment and renewal.
Mrs. Akomolede encouraged everyone to reflect on their mortality, sinfulness, need for repentance, and to engage in acts of charity, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.
She also prayed that the promises in the holy books should guide everyone through this season, leading to a refreshed and renewed life thereafter.
The NOA boss noted that it is neither coincidence nor mistake that both religions are observing the holy period, known as a period of penitents and forgiveness almost the same time.
