A prominent politician and philanthropist in Kwara State, Alh. Ibrahim Ajia, has urged Nigerians to work in unison to build a strong and resilient economy that will be beneficial to the present and future generations.
Ajia made the call during a courtesy visit to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu at his Lagos residence.
The politician was in the company of the chairman, House of Representatives’ Committee on FCT, Hon. Mukthar Betara, chief executive of Musaco Investment Ltd, Alh Musa Yakubu, and Hon. Mohammed Almakura.
Ajia said, “As we bid farewell to the challenges of the past year, let us welcome the fresh beginnings and endless possibilities that the New Year brings. Let our hearts be filled with possibilities, hopes, aspirations, and anticipations for a brighter future, especially with regards to our country’s economy and security.”
He expressed optimism that the New Year holds great opportunity, noting that, “the year 2024 holds great potential for economic growth and stability for our beloved nation, Nigeria. Let us work together, hand in hand, to build a strong and resilient economy that will not only benefit us today, but also generations to come; that will also make our businesses thrive, investments flourish, and job opportunities abound for all our citizens.”
The retired security personnel said that the issue of security challenges should not be taken lightly.
“We call upon our leaders, both at the state and national levels, to govern with the fear of God and good conscience. The protection and well-being of the people should be their highest priority.
“Let us invest in our security forces, equip them with the necessary tools, and provide them with ample training and support. Only then can we truly ensure the safety and peace of our people.
“To our esteemed leaders, we urge you to implement policies that will alleviate the suffering of our people. We understand the challenges and complexities of governance, but we implore you to always have the welfare of the citizens at heart.
“Focus on initiatives that will provide access to quality education, healthcare, affordable housing, and basic infrastructure. With this, you will be uplifting the lives of millions and leaving a legacy of positive change,” he stated.
