Stay Alert This Lent/Ramadan; DSS Urges Christians and Muslims

As the Christian and Muslim communities gear up for the sacred seasons of Lent and Ramadan, the Department of State Services (DSS) issues a compelling call to action. In a statement released by Dr. Peter Afunanya, the Director of Public Relations and Strategic Communications, the DSS urges worshippers to utilize this period as a catalyst for promoting peace, unity, and harmony across the nation.

Acknowledging the profound significance of these religious rites, the DSS implores believers to embrace understanding, compassion, and mutual respect. Emphasizing the need to shun economic exploitation and unethical practices, the agency underscores the importance of upholding fairness and dignity during these holy observances.

Moreover, the DSS encourages religious leaders to foster empathy and prioritize cooperation beyond the confines of Lent and Ramadan. The media is urged to leverage their platforms for informed and accurate discourse, while residents are advised to remain vigilant against potential threats, including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

In a powerful reaffirmation of national unity, the DSS calls for tolerance, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence among all citizens. By championing the values of mercy, tolerance, and brotherhood, the agency seeks to foster a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

As the nation embarks on these spiritual journeys, the DSS commits to providing strategic intelligence to ensure the safety and security of all citizens. Let us heed this call to unity and embrace the values that bind us together as a nation, fostering a future of peace and prosperity for generations to come.
