DELTA State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has hinged the country’s speedy economic recovery on the people’s ability to imbibe godly approach to addressing issues.

Okowa, who spoke yesterday at the 70th birthday thanksgiving service of the former Chief Judge of the state, Justice Rosaline Bozimo, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Ugborikoko, Delta State, said that he was optimistic that Nigeria will rise again.

“Let us spend time to pray. In every day of our life, we should truly live godly life, because you cannot love God without loving your neighbour. We should impact positively on those around us; we should show love to our neighbours,” he said, while describing Justice Bozimo as “a shining star with an infectious personality.”

Rev. Emmanuel Brume, in a sermon, called for respect for human rights in Nigeria.
