Akwa Ibom Fasting Commences Today

Today is the first day of a 3-Day statewide prayer and fasting declared by Governor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom State.

Although it does not affect work, but everyone is expected to pray in his/her respective office, business place, learning center or home.

The theme is "Peace Be Still" and everyone is required to pray for peace throughout the period of the elections in our state and country.

The commissioner for Information and Strategy Mr. Charles Udoh, had in a statement announced that the prayers on each of the first two days should be rounded off at the close of work through group prayers.

On the third day, the fasting shall culminate in an open air service on Saturday at the Banquet Hall Grounds, at Government House from 3pm.

The prayer and fasting cuts across political divide and ethnic or religious background.
