In his message, the President emphasized the significance of the Holy Week, spanning from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, as a period for deep reflection on enduring values such as sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope.

The President assured Nigerians of his administration's firm resolve to restore peace and security, declaring that forces of evil will never prevail.

Directives have been issued to the Armed Forces and security agencies to decisively end insecurity without delay.

He also expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their patience and resilience as the economy shows encouraging signs of recovery.

The President acknowledged the economic challenges faced by many Nigerians and highlighted ongoing efforts to restore investor confidence, stabilize key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that benefits all. He joined the global Christian community in expressing gratitude for Pope Francis’s recovery, praying for his continued strength to inspire leadership and service to humanity.
