Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has called on Nigerians to be steadfast in prayers for economic stabilisation of the country.
The governor in his sallah message to the people of the state, said such gesture was necessary considering the president’s commitment to turn around the fortunes of the country through economic transformation.
“We are optimistic that the economic policies being put in place are for the best interest of the Nigerian people. As citizens, we have a responsibility to continue to support Mr. President in order to achieve this and other developmental initiatives for the good of all,” he stated.
Governor Sule congratulated the Muslim community for joining their counterparts all over the world in celebrating the festival of sacrifice even as he called on them to use the occasion to reflect on their relationships with God and fellow human beings as a yardstick for righteous living, love and peaceful coexistence in the society.
“It is in view of this that I urge us to continue to preach peace, show love, understanding, tolerance and good neighbourliness amongst ourselves,” he said.
He enjoined the indigenes and residents to eschew any act capable of breaching the relative peace being enjoyed in the state, pointing out that as citizens of Nigeria, the Constitution guaranteed the right to reside in any part of the country without fear of molestation.
“This is why I wish to reassure our brothers from other regions of the country that Nasarawa State is a cosmopolitan society that accommodates everybody irrespective of tribe, region, religion or any other creed. I, therefore, call on all and sundry to remain law abiding citizens and go on in pursuing their lawful means of livelihood.
“In conclusion, as we celebrate this Eid-el-Kabir, I appeal to all road users to obey traffic regulations, just as I call on the officials of Federal Road Safety Commission and other security agencies to intensify enforcement of the laws during the festivity,” he said.
