NOA Urges Greater Patriotism from Nigerians in New
Year
As the world ushers in a new decade with the year 2020, the
Director General, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Dr. Garba
Abari has called on Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to
reflect on Nigeria’s journey of nationhood, especially in the last
decade and see the new year as another opportunity to continue
contributing meaningfully to nation building in the next decade and
beyond.
While congratulating Nigerians, in a New Year message for their
resilience through the last decade which saw a peaceful government
transition despite predictions of national doom, Dr. Abari
commended the patriotism, nationalism, service and devotion of
Nigerians to the nation, noting that without the sacrificial
efforts of patriots through successive generations, the greatest
black country on the planet would not have survived till today.
The NOA Director General noted that the years ahead of Nigeria
as a nation hold greater glory for the country and therefore called
for deep reflection and repositioning from all Nigerians in order
to do away with all vices that have plagued the nation in the
past.
He further urged Nigerians to make the needed commitment to
henceforth always put the nation first above other considerations,
adding that no nation will match or surpass Nigeria’s greatness in
a short time to come if its citizens will totally commit to making
the nation great.
