Governor Sule stressed the importance of unity and loyalty to the nation, urging youths to set aside religious, tribal, and political differences in order to build an egalitarian society.
"Nigerians, especially the youth, must come together to show patriotism, integrity, and respect for the land. We cannot allow our differences to divide us," he stated.
With Nasarawa State being home to a diverse mix of ethnic and religious groups and a large youth population, the Governor highlighted the state's commitment to fostering unity among young people to drive national progress.
He noted that Nasarawa was chosen as the ideal location to host the event due to its focus on encouraging patriotism and unity among its youth, assuring the organizer of ongoing government support.
In response, Zaki Azzak, the event's organizer, told Governor Sule that the event aimed to promote patriotism, unity, and peace, aligning with the state government’s agenda. He encouraged Nigerian youths to maintain positive attitudes and avoid negative behaviors, emphasizing that they are the future leaders of the nation.
