Shagari (Sokoto) In a move to ensure unity and progress of the
country, former President Shehu Shagari has called on Nigerians to work
towards moving Nigeria forward.
The nation’s statesmen spoke in Shagari town on Friday when Minister
of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu paid him a courtesy visit.
President Shagari observed that Nigeria, which is a great nation that
provides leadership to other sister African countries, must be made
stronger and its people united.
“We must all work towards making the nation a strong and united
country irrespective of our diverse religious, ethnic and cultural
differences,” he said.
Shagari commended Governor Aliyu Wamakko for transforming the state
in all sectors. “We are happy and we must show appreciation for
upgrading the Shagari Primary Healthcare to the status of a general
hospital.”
On his part, the Minister said that Shagari, “apart from being a
father and a revered leader in Nigeria, is also humble, incorruptible
and disciplined. These are some of the lessons we must all learn from
leaders like him for Nigeria to develop further,” he added.
Earlier, Governor Wamakko told the former President that the
Minister’s visit was aimed at “showing respect to him as a leader who
was still contributing meaningfully to national development.”
