The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has expressed readiness to assist victims of the flood incident in Niger, which led to the death of about 200 people.
CAN spoke in a statement signed by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, on Friday.
Okoh tasked churches and Christians to support those in need with food, clothes, money or by offering prayers and kind words.
He stated that CAN will also work with the government and other groups to make sure help reaches those who needs it.
The CAN leader also felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of the Eid-el- Kabir.
“On behalf of the national leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, I extend warm greetings to all our Muslim brothers and sisters as you celebrate Eid-el-Kabir 2025.
“This special festival, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, reminds us of the faith and obedience shown by Abraham (Prophet Ibrahim). It teaches us about sacrifice, love, and kindness values shared by Christians and Muslims alike.
“Eid-el-Kabir is a time to come together with family and friends, to share meals, and to care for one another. It is also a time to spread joy and build unity in our communities. As Nigerians, we can all use this moment to show peace and respect, no matter our faith,” the statement read.
