First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu and National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu are to lead a national prayer session on the troubling situations afflicting Nigeria.
The event is organised in conjunction with both Christian and Muslim leaders.
Its aim is to seek divine intervention and arrest crises the country is trapped in, chief among them: disunity, economy and security.
Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, Director General of the National Prayer Forum (NPF), announced the initiative at a briefing in Abuja.
Themed: “Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs,” Afolorunikan emphasised the importance of collective action in overcoming the country’s multifaceted challenges.
“By the end of this prayer session, we believe that with God’s wisdom, our leaders and citizens will find the strength to confront our common enemies,” Afolorunikan stated.
He expressed hope that Nigeria would enter 2025 with renewed purpose and stability.
The prayer sessions will take place at significant venues: Muslims will gather at the National Mosque in Abuja for seven days, during which 313 individuals will recite the Qur’an, culminating in the recitation of the Holy text 2,191 times for national stability.
Meanwhile, Christians will meet at the National Ecumenical Centre for a week of intense prayer, with prayer warriors from various denominations focusing their efforts on the nation’s adversities.
