MAIDUGURI— Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has condoled the families of all those who lost their lives in some Northern states, saying that his administration was adopting measures that would ensure security, employment opportunities, education, as well as social amenities as a way of curtailing current challenges being faced by the people.

He spoke during his Easter message to Christians in the country.

He said: ‘’Government is adopting many measures to continually live up to its responsibilities of providing security, creating employment and providing basic social amenities in the areas of agriculture, education, health care delivery, roads and drainage constructions, water supply, among others, to continue impacting positively on the lives of all residents of Borno State.

‘’Christians should use the Easter period to pray for peace and unity among the diverse ethnic groups in the area.’’

Shettima said no quantum of prayer should too long in seeking God’s intervention to ensure that the state regains its status as the ‘’Home of Peace,’’ its motto.

He, however, asked Christians, especially the wealthy ones, to reach out to the poor and needy members of the society.
