Minister of Works, David Umahi, has urged Nigerians to see the celebration of Christmas as a time to promote peace, love, unity and all that will bring the various parts of Nigeria closer together.
The minister, in his Christmas message, said it is through emphasising those things that Nigerians share in common, not their differences, that the country would achieve the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
“As we all know, Christmas is celebrated by the Christian faithful to commemorate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ who came to redeem all mankind and also to share the significance of love, peace, and goodwill towards all persons irrespective of creeds, colours, or cultures. We are, therefore, enjoined to use this moment and always to focus our thoughts and open our hearts towards the promotion of the best attitudes in our public and private lives; let us emphasise that which unites and strengthens our bonds and dreams of achieving a prosperous nation which God, through the instrumentality of the Renewed Hope administration of President Tinubu is anchoring to the glory of His Holy Name.
“Mr. President’s administration is committed to achieving a loving, prosperous, and united nation. Road infrastructure is among the critical sectors that are receiving the priority attention of Mr. President, and this is hoped to assist in fully unlocking the economic potential of our dear nation and promoting the well-being of all its inhabitants.”
Umahi further charged Nigerians to see Christmas as a time “of reflection on the need for concerted efforts and renewed vigour in our collective hope of building a nation of boundless possibilities.
“Let us, therefore, see this season as a moment of reflection on the need for concerted efforts and renewed vigour in our collective hope of building a nation of boundless possibilities. May God continue to strengthen our confidence in the hope of a better future and grant us greater years of Renewed Hope accomplishments,” Umahi said.
