The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar has called on Nigerians to keep faith with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, stating that it is geared towards entrenchment of democracy and sustainable development in the country.
He made the call in his message to Nigerians on the occasion of the 63rd Independence Anniversary Celebration.
The Minister also called on Nigerians to use the occasion to reflect on the steady progress being made to see themselves as critical stakeholders of the Nigerian Project and to rally support for the attainment of Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Tuggar also reiterated the commitment of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure the successful realization of President Tinubu’s 4D strategy. The 4D strategy also known as the Tinubu Doctrine pivots on four pillars, Democracy: fostering political stability, Development -catalyzing economic prosperity, Diaspora: nurturing a global Nigerian community; and demography, harnessing the power of a youthful nation.
He also urged Nigerians to eschew hate and divisiveness that can undermine the country’s unity and progress.
Tuggar further stated that the quest for nation-building is a collective responsibility, and all well-meaning Nigerians at home and abroad must join hands in strengthening the resolve to build a sustainable prosperous nation that Nigerians irrespective of their socio-cultural and political leanings would be proud of.
