Nigeria Weightlifting Federation Felicitates with Christians On Easter Celebrations
The Nigeria Weightlifting Federation, NWF wishes to felicitate Christians on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebrations
President of the federation, Dr. Abdul Ibrahim in his Easter message on Friday, charged the Christan faithful to imbibe the teachings of Jesus Christ who came to the world to redeem mankind
Dr. Ibrahim implored religious and political leaders to emulate the Risen Lord in their leadership so as to enthrone an egalitarian society where peace and justice are obtained.
“The Board of Nigeria Weightlifting Federation, NWF heartily felicitate with our Christian brothers and sisters as they mark this year’s Easter celebrations. There is no doubt that this event is very significant to the believers of Christianity as it is the foundation of the Christian religion.
“The coming of Jesus Christ to the world and His death thereafter is not only symbolic but also defined the Christian faith. Christ came and preached peace, and enthroned justice in our society.
“Today our religious and political leaders owe humanity a duty to lead in fear of God. Establish purposeful leadership, and enthrone peace and justice in the land. These are the mandate of our leaders and I believe that this Easter period is a reminder to them, to retrace their steps where they are going astray and return to the path God had set out for them.
“We congratulate Christians on this great occasion and charge them to live in peace, love one another and pray for our leaders,” he said.
This year’s Easter celebrations will hold on Sunday, April 17, 2022.

Lawal Delivers Another Brilliant Performance in Europe
After displaying great form for Istra 1961against Vukovar in the score draw encounter in the elite league few days ago in Croatia, Salim Fago Lawal has continued to enjoy rave of the moment status in the Eastern European nation.
On Wednesday, Lawal was on the scores sheet for Istra in the 75th minute against Kurilovec, but it was only for consolation, as Istra crashed out of Croatian cup in round 16.
It was a masterpiece display from the former Flying Eagles striker, whose work rate has shown great development after joining Istra from modest Nigerian clubside in 2023.
He has scored three goals and two assists, totally five – goal contribution as a striker so far this season.
Interestingly, two other Flying Eagles players, Israel Ayuma and Charles Agada, who are also former players of Mavlon FC, featured in the game and they gave good account of themselves.
Sadly, it was not the day of victory on the pitch for the three former players of Mavlon FC of Lagos.
