President Bola Tinubu has given assurance that his administration will continue to implement palliative measures to ease the burden on the most vulnerable, address current hardships and alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
Tinubu gave the assurance on Sunday, in his Christmas message.
In a message personally signed by him, Tinubu told Nigerians that as the country navigates, “this transition to stability, prosperity, and Renewed Hope, I urge you once more to hold fast and rest assured of my commitment to govern with vision, dedication, and empathy”.
The President assured: “Be confident that by the strength of our joint endeavour, we will shortly emerge into a new dawn of prosperity, peace, and irreversible progress.
“As you celebrate this season, please spare a moment of remembrance and prayer for the men and women of our nation’s armed forces, bearing arms in our names and ensuring our safety. My God protects them and brings them back to their families.
“And let us together commemorate the memory of those who, in their service, have paid the highest price for our nation. May God bless their souls and comfort their families and loved ones”.
Tinubu charged the Christians to let the light of Christmas guide “our paths as we bring this year to a close and usher in the new year”.
The President noted that Christmas is a special time of the year for all of us, adding that for Christians, this time of the year marks the birth of Jesus Christ and celebrates the hope and redemption that are the hallmarks of Christ’s life.
“For people of all faiths, this is an opportunity to enjoy the company of family, celebrate life, and delight in the gifts of love and friendship that make life worthwhile.
“This is also a time to look out for each other because, amidst the festivities, this time of year for many will be tinged with sadness: some mourning the loss of loved ones and others grieving the hopes that failed to materialise and the dreams that fell short” Tinubu noted.
…
He charged in the spirit of Christmas, reflecting the best of Christ, “let us all endeavour to extend the warm embrace of kindness to those around us who need it and let the multiple acts of kindness serve as a light that guides us into a happy and wonderful new year”.
Tinubu restated that the outgoing year has been a time of transformation and relentless change in our country, stressing that he is aware that the necessary reforms his administration is implementing to achieve a more prosperous, peaceful nation for all “have imposed unique sacrifices”.
The President wished all a merry Christmas
