Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has led citizens in a special national prayer session, seeking God’s intervention over the growing insecurity and recent abductions affecting parts of the country.
The prayer session was held during the Governor’s Weekly Citizens’ Engagement Programme in Yankwashi Local Government Area. It comes at a time the nation is facing worsening security challenges, including the recent abduction of school girls in Kebbi and Niger States, and rising terrorist attacks across the northern region.
Governor Namadi said Nigeria needs both strategic action and divine guidance to overcome the current situation.
He explained that the special prayers were meant to unite citizens, strengthen national faith, and encourage renewed hope in the country’s future.
The Governor also used the occasion to call for unity, cooperation with security agencies, and collective vigilance from community members, especially in rural areas.
