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.

FOR NATIONAL RECOVERY AMID THE PANDEMIC Privilege Speech but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)
Mr. President and distinguished colleagues:
I rise on a matter of personal and collective privilege to highlight the celebration of the National Bible Day today, January 25, 2021, by virtue of Republic Act No. 11163 or An Act Declaring the Last Monday of January Every Year As A Special Working Holiday In Observance of National Bible Day .
What started as a lounge talk / small talk between Senator Manny Pacquiao and I, turned into reality. The National Bible Day Law is not only a landmark legislation but also a national celebration that highlights the Philippines as the only predominantly Christian country in Asia.
Transcript - Manifestation of Senator Pia S. Cayetano in honor of National Bible Day
To the two gentlemen, I would just like to commend them for their privilege speeches. And with their permission, I d just like to make a few comments and they are free to react.
I am very happy that we now are celebrating National Bible Day. I myself am a Bible reader. I read my first Bible back-to-back when I was 10 years old. And I have to admit that it wasn t easy. But life became easy because over the years, they now have a One Year Bible. It is even annotated to make it easier, depending on your personal interests. There s a Bible for women, for entrepreneurs. Not to say that there are changes, but there are annotations that are meant to inspire people in whatever walks of life they are in.
