Ishaya told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lafia that the Lenten season was not only a period for praying and fasting, but also for giving alms to the needy and the less privileged persons in the society in order to improve their standard of living.
“As you know, we are in a Lenten season, a season to pray, to fast, to seek and reconcile with God if one has done wrong; and it is also a season to show love, affection, charity and to extend hands of friendship to the needy and less privileged in the society.
“I want to use this medium to appeal to the Christians and others Nigerians to pray and assist the less privileged and our brothers and sisters who have been displaced as a result of the security challenges facing some part of the country.
