Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has urged Nigerians to continue to demand for a country that guarantees justice and fairness for all.
The Principal Special Assistant on Media to the Governor, Nathaniel Ikyur in a statement, Friday said Ortom admonished that impunity, institutionalized biases and injustice must be vehemently rejected if Nigeria must realize her full potentials as a prosperous nation.
The Governor also encouraged Nigerians to sustain their faith in the unity and ability of the country in order to overcome her current security and economic challenges.
He said men and women of honour and integrity who can stand for the rule of law and promote the values as well as the dream of the nation’s founding fathers, must step forward now and save the country, stressing that everyone must contribute to make the country great again.
According to the statement, Governor Ortom prayed that the enduring grace of God Almighty will continue to steer Nigeria out of the daunting challenges and threats to its corporate existence and is optimistic that the same God will continue to guide the ship of this country away from capsizing.
“Only a sustained synergy between the Federal and State Governments, as well as other stakeholders can eliminate the growing terrorist acts by herdsmen and bandits and other criminal acts terrorising the country,” he emphasized.
The Governor reassured the people of Benue State of his administration’s commitment to addressing the development challenges of the State and by constantly engaging the young people in productive ventures.
He thanked Benue people for the support they have continued to give to his administration in the last six years and promises to redouble efforts in his performance as he is already doing.
Governor Ortom also assured that his administration will continue to provide critical development projects in all sectors and parts of the state.
He wishes the good people of Benue State and other Nigerians a peaceful Independence celebration.
