The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN) says it has set May 5 as National Day for the celebration of the Bible.
The General Secretary/CEO of BSN, Dr Dare Ajiboye, stated this at a news conference on Thursday in Lagos.
Ajiboye said that setting a day for the celebration of the Bible had become imperative in order to encourage people to reflect on and imbibe the values prescribed in the Holy Book.
According to him, it is clear from the scriptures that celebration is a spiritual discipline that God desires for people to practise.
“It is good and proper to have special times to celebrate God’s word, to create awareness and enjoin every Nigerian to participate in this worthy event,” Ajiboye said.
