Christians across Nigeria have joined their counterparts globally to mark Good Friday, a prelude to the Easter celebration amid the high cost of living and security challenges in the country.
Good Friday is a remembrance of the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. In cities across the country, some churches are expected to hold services later in the day. Processions tagged the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ would also take place.
To mark the day, top government dignitaries including President Bola Tinubu, governors, and others, felicitated the Christian faithful on the occasion.
In his message, Tinubu called on Nigerians to be compassionate to one another and work in unity. He called on Christians to imbibe the virtues of love, and sacrifice associated with the season.
