The Department of State Services (DSS) has urged Nigerian Christians to reflect on Jesus’ humility and compassion this Easter.

Director, PR & Strategic Communications, Peter Afunanya, in an Easter message, emphasized the importance of self-control, discipline, and kindness in daily interactions.

In a statement released on Friday, the DSS encouraged Nigerians to reject bitterness, disloyalty, and violence, emphasizing the need for unity and forgiveness.

“The Director General, Management and Staff of the Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to felicitate the Christian faithful on the celebration of Easter. It also uses this opportunity to call on Nigerians to draw lessons from the forbearance and humility of Jesus Christ and apply the same in their daily affairs.

“The Service reminds them to use the event which illustrates sacrifice and forgiveness to refocus their love for one another, the nation and humanity at large. On this note, citizens are encouraged to adopt self-control, discipline and compassion in their dealings and conduct. The Service enjoins them to eschew bitterness, disloyalty, fake news, hate speech and violence.

“Similarly, celebrants are advised to refrain from such behaviors as illicit drugs, excessive alcoholism as well as reject all forms of bigotry and other social vices during the ceremony. They are, therefore, implored to renew their commitment to the peace, unity of Nigeria and work towards her inclusiveness.”

Additionally, the DSS urged vigilance during Easter celebrations, urging the public to report any security breaches to relevant authorities.

“Consequent upon these, everyone is urged to be vigilant and report attempts to breach security to relevant law enforcement agencies.
