FG lauds CAN’s roles in building Nigeria
Yemi Osinbajo
The Federal Government on Sunday in Abuja applauded the roles played by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), toward the spiritual and physical development of the country.
Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo gave the commendation at an Inter-denominational Thanksgiving Service to mark Nigeria’s 60 years of Independence.
Osinbajo said: “I am deeply delighted to speak to you at this inter-denominational service commemorating Nigeria at 60th independence anniversary.
The theme of today’s message “Together, come let us rebuild”, resonates with the theme of Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary.
“It should serve as a clarion call to all Christians in Nigeria to be prepared to contribute their quota to national development,” he said.
The Vice President said that Nigeria needed its citizens to love her and help to rebuild the cracks on its walls.
As aptly stated in today’ sermon, the story of Nehemiah and his role in rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem should be a challenge to every Christian who is desirous of following the path of the Christian way of life,” he said.
He tasked Nigerians to emulate Nehemiah’s attitude towards his country, adding that Nehemiah’s services should serve as a metaphor for Nigerians resident in the country or outside of it.
