The Executive Secretary of the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF), Dr. Bello Maigari has said that Nigeria will become great again under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership with the introduction of the “Renewed Hope Agenda”.
He said that Nigeria has passed through a lot of things in past decades since its formation as a sovereign national entity.
Maigari stated this in Abuja during his investiture with Sardauna Platinum Leadership Award confered on him by the Arewa Youth Council led by its Chairman, Dogo Shagari.
He said: “But, I am happy to report to you all present here today that with the coming of the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the nation will become strong and prosperous not only in Africa but globally.
“We have had a very rough trajectory of development as a nation, but it is only now that some of the pillars for development are being planted which in no too distance future will make Nigeria a very strong and prosperous nation not only in Africa which of course Nigeria is the largest economy, but will be contended with globally as a giant with a robust economy, a very prosperous and youthful population gearing up to make this nation proud.”
Maigari noted that youths are the engine room of any country, they have abundant talents, adding that if the youths constitute the largest demography of that country with sizeable number of them well educated, then you certainly have hope for that country.
He described the ascension of Tinubu as Nigeria’s president as “blessings” which requires all Nigerians to support and pray for the administration to succeed in its resolve to move the country to greater heights.
He, therefore, enjoined Nigerians to accept the fact that change always comes with pains but should be encouraged that when you are going through these pains, you are reshaping the future of the country for a better tomorrow.
Speaking during the presentation, Shagari, said the Sardauna Platinum Leadership Award was conceived by the Council as befitting gesture to honour worthy individuals whose attainment in life have impacted positively on the life of the citizenry and a way of encouraging them to do more.
“Dr Bello Maigari is not just a mentor and a role model, but a personality with integrity and unique hallmark which will for a very long time define the phrase ‘a light at the end of the tunnel’ who has given so many years of exceptional leadership in building the nation”.
