Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger has expressed deep concern over the displacement of communities due to security challenges, dedicating his 52nd birthday to seeking God’s succour for the affected people.
Addressing newsmen on his birthday on Sunday, the governor said that there’s no better time to pray for God’s mercy and intervention than now.
“My birthday coincides with both the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and the Christian Lenten season, making it an ideal time for interfaith prayers for the nation.
“I dedicate the day for special prayers across the state and in all places of worship for God to bring succour to the people,” he added.
