Senator Danladi Abdullahi Sankara, a former chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Communication, has advised Nigerians to have faith in the Nigerian project and support it wholeheartedly in order for it to achieve its rightful stature as a nation.
The plea was made on Wednesday in Abuja by Senator Sankara, who served as Jigawa North-West’s senator in the 7th and 9th senates.
According to its wealth of resources and untapped potential, Nigeria may not be where it should be at 63, but the country is still a work in progress that calls for the faith and patriotism of all Nigerians, in whatever capacities.
“The Nigeria Project is working as shown with the togetherness of her peoples over the last 63 years, the remarkable progress it had recorded across the various sectors and hope for her greatness being kept alive by the citizens.
“Nigeria has achieved a lot, even though not enough in our historic 63 years of political independence, but a lot of gains have been made and a lot of prospects for progress have been available in all facets of national development value chain,” he stressed.
Sankara said that in order to improve the project, the government and administration must be taken seriously by giving the welfare and security of the populace top priority at all levels.
However, he advised Nigerians to assist the administration by giving the authorities frank and practical recommendations.
“We must accept responsibility for shortcomings and re-strategise to provide people-oriented credible public service leadership to accelerate the desired progress of Nigeria,” he added.
According to him, everyone must support President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” in order to bring about the necessary change that would improve the lives and wellbeing of all Nigerians.
