Nigerians should show commitment of love, progress to nation — Umahi
The Minister of Works, Senator Engr. Nweze David Umahi, has urged Nigerians to demonstrate a commitment to love and ensure the progress of the nation.
In his Christmas message to Nigerians, the Minister expressed his heartfelt joy and shared the hope that the birth of Jesus Christ brings to mankind.
“On this momentous occasion of Christmas Day celebrations, I am heartily and profoundly delighted to felicitate with Nigerians and share in the great joy that the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ heralds, along with the hope of everlasting salvation it brings to mankind,” Umahi said.
“Indeed, this Christian festival offers us a memorable opportunity to reflect on the need to renew our gratitude to God, our Maker, through our unwavering love for one another, boundless generosity to our neighbours, and selfless service to humanity—divine values required to make the world a better place. In a moment like this, we are called to reflect on our personal devotion to the cause of the nation and the benefits of fostering stronger bonds and positive memories in our interpersonal relationships.”
“Our nation, Nigeria, deserves nothing less than the commitment of love for our country and devotion to the principles of peace and progress from all citizens,” he added.
Umahi further highlighted that the Renewed Hope administration has made significant strides in improving public service delivery and restructuring governance frameworks that will drive economic growth and national development.
“The private sector window is being opened, and the enabling infrastructure is taking shape. Our road infrastructure delivery is being enhanced nationwide to support the growth of our economy. All we need is a reciprocation of faith, hope, solidarity, loyalty, and love for our nation,” he stated.
“As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and its significance to our nationhood, I particularly send my warm greetings to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. I commend him highly for his profound leadership, which is making the desired difference in our development trajectory. I would also like to publicly recognise the management and staff of the Federal Ministry of Works, who have been exceptionally dedicated in driving the Renewed Hope agenda in the works sector. Together, we shall achieve a nation of peace and prosperity.”
Umahi concluded by wishing all Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
