The Federal Government has designated three Mondays in June 2025 for national prayer and fasting, focusing on food security and protection across the country.
An internal circular dated June 11, 2025, from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, instructed all staff—including directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, and value chain desk officers—to attend a prayer session at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.
The event, titled “Divine Intervention for Protection and National Development,” will be held on June 16, 23, and 30.
“This is to invite all staff of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to a solemn prayer session for God’s guidance and success in supporting the government’s efforts to achieve food security,” the memo read.
Mrs. Adedayo Modupe O., Director of Human Resource Management, who signed the circular, said the effort is aimed at “invoking God’s guidance and support for the government’s efforts to ensure stable and sustainable food systems across the country.”
She also urged staff to observe a fast on each of the three Mondays, stating, “Please kindly come fasting on Mondays 16th, 23rd and 30th June, 2025.”
