In her Easter message released by her Special Assistant on Media, Publicity and Strategic Communication, Desmond Utomwen, the Presidential Adviser emphasised the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a symbol of renewal, sacrifice, and triumph of light over darkness. She urged citizens to draw inspiration from the season by embracing unity, compassion, and collective responsibility in building a better society.
