The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has called on Nigerians to keep faith with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as he gears the country towards the entrenchment of democracy and sustainable development.
He made the call in a statement on Sunday by Alkasim Abdulkadir, his Special Assistant On Media and Communications Strategy, to Nigerians on the occasion of the country’s 63rd Independence Anniversary celebration.
While felicitating President Tinubu and Nigerians on the occasion he also called on Nigerians to use the occasion to reflect on the steady progress being made to see themselves as critical stakeholders of the Nigerian project and to rally support for the attainment of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Ambassador Tuggar also reiterated the commitment of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure the successful realization of President Tinubu’s 4D strategy.

The 4D strategy also known as the Tinubu Doctrine pivots on four pillars of Democracy – fostering political stability; Development – catalyzing economic prosperity, Diaspora: nurturing a global Nigerian community; and Demography, harnessing the power of a youthful nation.
He also urged Nigerians to eschew hate and divisiveness that can undermine the country’s unity and progress.
While stating that the quest for nation-building is a collective responsibility, he called on all well-meaning Nigerians at home and abroad to join hands in strengthening the resolve to build a sustainable prosperous nation that Nigerians irrespective of their socio-cultural and political leanings would be proud of.
