Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has called on clerics to fervently pray for the restoration of peace and unity in the country.
Ugwuanyi made this call on Friday in Enugu during a prayer meeting at the Government House Chapel, Enugu.

I humbly enjoin you to continue to pray for peace in our country, lives and administration,” Ugwuanyi said. Earlier, Uche prayed God to intervene in the current security challenges in parts of the country.
