Glo greets Christians at Easter, calls for renewed hope

Nigerians have been encouraged to emulate the spirit and example of Jesus Christ, who laid his life down and bore the burdens of many.

National Telecommunication Company, Globacom made the call in a goodwill message to Christians on the Easter celebrations to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Globacom enjoined Nigerians to believe that there is victory at the end of adversity, urging them to be inspired by the gospel of the Resurrection of Christ.

“We pray that the mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ, which were released unto mankind at the cross of Calvary, be upon Nigerians so that they would not only live abundant life here on earth but would also have the joy of eternal life on the great resurrection,” the company said in a statement.

The Easter celebrations are preceded by a 40-day period of fasting at Lent, to prepare the believer for sanctification through prayer, penance, repentance, almsgiving, atonement and self-denial.

The fasting period ends on Good Friday, which commemorates the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, which falls on April 19 this year while the Easter Sunday, which is the Resurrection day, falls on April 21, 2019.

Globacom also called on Nigerians to pray for the country to overcome its current political, security and economic challenges.

The company also assures all its subscribers across the country of quality service on the network throughout the Easter period and beyond.
