A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM NDE VICTOR DAVID DIMKA ON EASTER SUNDAY.
As we celebrate the resurrection of the son of God who came to pay the supreme price for the sin of mankind, to give us all clemency into salvation, I extend Easter felicitation to all Christians in Plateau State and Nigeria as a whole.
The period presents another opportunity for all Christians to commune closely with Christ and reconnect with God.
But while we do that, let us pause and reflect on the earlier events in the life of Jesus- the prophecies of His birth, His life on Earth, miracles He performed and sermons He preached, and His torture and subsequent death on the Cross.
All these should serve as a defining moment for us as we celebrate this special season.
May the blessings of the season remain with us now and forever.

We need to redouble our efforts in making sure that we participate in the vaccination exercise and also sensitise our people to adjust to living under the new normal”.
While wishing the people of Plateau State and Nigeria a successful Easter celebration, Governor Lalong called on Christians to continue to demonstrate the love of God to one another and people of other faiths and let the light of God manifest in all their activities in order to drive the desired change in the nation.
