As Nigeria proudly commemorates 64 years of independence, Nasarawa State is also celebrating a significant milestone—its 28th anniversary of creation.
This dual celebration serves as a moment of reflection, pride, and a renewed commitment to nation-building. In this context, Alhaji Abubakar Abdul Giza Ciroman Giza, a highly regarded retired federal civil servant, has shared a heartfelt message of congratulations and encouragement to the people of Nigeria and Nasarawa.
In his address, Giza acknowledged the historic journey of the nation, recognizing both the triumphs and challenges faced over the decades.
He underscored that the essence of independence lies in the collective effort of citizens to uphold democratic values and foster national unity.
"Every citizen has a role to play in shaping the future of our great nation," he stated, emphasizing that individual contributions can lead to significant changes.
Giza’s message highlighted the importance of actively supporting government initiatives designed to drive development in Nasarawa.
He pointed to various projects aimed at improving infrastructure, enhancing educational opportunities, and providing better healthcare services.
"These initiatives are not just the responsibility of the government; they require the active participation of all citizens," he urged, calling for a collaborative approach to governance.
Moreover, he expressed concern about the challenges faced by the state and the nation, including economic difficulties and social unrest. He believes that a united front can help address these issues effectively.
"When we come together as one, we can overcome any obstacle," Giza emphasized. He encouraged citizens to engage in community efforts and support local programs that aim to uplift the lives of residents.
In concluding his message, Alhaji Giza appealed to all Nigerians to embrace a spirit of cooperation and solidarity.
He reminded everyone that the strength of the nation lies in its diversity and shared goals. "Let us celebrate our achievements, learn from our past, and strive for a better tomorrow together," he urged, reinforcing the idea that the future of Nigeria and Nasarawa depends on collective action and unity.
This call to action resonates as both a celebration and a challenge, urging citizens to not only reflect on their heritage but also actively participate in shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
