Some residents in the Federal Capital Territory are taking advantage of Christmas celebrations to hang out with family members and friends.
The residents, who were having fun at the Millennium Park, Abuja on Tuesday, told the News Agency of Nigeria that Nigerians, especially workers, should make out time, hang out and relax with loved ones.
According to them, sit-outs and other forms of entertainment should be more often and not only during festive periods.
One of the fun seekers, John Alhassan, said Christmas Day was the birth of Jesus Christ and it should be celebrated well as a season of love.
Alhassan said: “It was a difficult year, full of expectations, which has not been achieved but thank God for all his mercies.
“I am happy there was no fuel scarcity this year, which means the government is working.”
Another fun seeker, Favour Ogbonna, said since Jesus Christ’s birth brought joy, happiness and everything good, she advised people to hang out.
Ogbonna said: “I am happy at the turn up of people and some people are yet to come.
“Having fun also helps our kids to be educationally, morally and socially sound and should not be encouraged only during festivities.”
Ogbonna also urged the government to provide more facilities in the park, as it would boost patronage.
NAN recalls that the patronage is high, compared to last year.
