Today, Christians in Nigeria and around the world mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season of reflection, fasting, and renewal. Churches across the country will hold special services to kick off this sacred journey.

Whether attending a morning mass or an evening service, Christians will gather to recommit to their faith and seek spiritual growth. The Lenten period is a time for introspection, prayer, and charitable acts, culminating in the celebration of Easter.

We wish all Christians in Nigeria and globally a meaningful Lenten season. May this period of reflection and renewal bring spiritual growth, peace, and joy to all.
