The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday called for the diversification of the nation’s economy.
A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, expressed optimism that Nigeria would be great again.
In their separate messages, NLC President Ayuba Wabba and Onu praised the recovery steps taken by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Wabba said: “Eid-el-Kabir represents unconditional obedience to our creator, sacrifice, adherence to higher moral values and show of love to friends and families through sharing.
“The occasion affords us an opportunity to reconcile with God, re-assess our personal and official lives and how these impact on the nation.
“It similarly avails us a great chance to renew our commitment to the Nigerian project by fighting the vices bedevilling it.”
Onu said: “On this important occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, I urge all Nigerians to rededicate themselves to the worthy attributes of love of country and faith in our collective ability to build a new, united and prosperous Nigeria.
“Nigeria is destined for greatness. I urge that we utilise the opportunity of this solemn occasion to rededicate ourselves to those worthy attributes that will help make this possible.”
