Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has called on Nigerians to collectively imbibe the spirit of unity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence, noting that these are panacea to the challenges currently facing the nation.
In his Easter message to the people of Lagos State, the governor said such fundamental values would go a long way in promoting and strengthening the foundation of love, peace and harmony in the society, adding that the season should serve as a reminder to all of the selflessness, love, sacrifice and tolerance of Jesus Christ.
According to Governor Ambode, “Remembering that foundation is particularly meaningful this Easter because our nation is facing challenges that we can overcome if we choose to, by exercising collective tolerance and be ready to make sacrifices.”
He stressed that Nigerians should, this Ester, pause and reflect on their individual and collective roles towards promoting and sustaining that foundation of love, peace and harmony in the society.
“We must see this period as a time that affords us to think about how we can each help to steer our nation back on the road to prosperity, by working in the spirit of togetherness,” the governor said.
He also restated his commitment towards making life more comfortable for the people, assuring that the state government would intensify efforts on road projects, the ‘Light Up Lagos’ initiative, youth empowerment, improved and accessible healthcare services and increased public safety and security.
