The National Interest Forum (NIF) has said that Nigeria has the capacity and potential to surmount all the challenges currently facing the country.
It also assured that it is embarking on nationwide town hall meetings in order to sensitise Nigerians on the need for everyone to put the nation first in all dealings.
The National Chairman of the NIF, Mr. Gambo Lawan, while addressing a press conference yesterday in Abuja also called on all political parties, leaders, religious and traditional rulers, and professional bodies to join the movement.
He said: “As patriots, the National Interest Forum sees the need to close the big gap in our nation today which came about as a result of lack of trust, lack of unity, misunderstanding, personal and sectional interests among others.
“But the good news is, our nation has the capacity and potential to surmount all these challenges which are not peculiar to our nation, Nigeria.”
He attributed the gap in the nation today to lack of trust, lack of unity, misunderstanding, personal and sectional interests, among others.
Lawan said: “In the coming days and weeks, we will be engaging our people through town hall meetings in all the states of the federation in order to be sensitised on the need for everyone to put our nation first in all our dealings. We are glad to declare today, this hashtag #OurNation First. And we are optimistic that Nigeria will regain and remain the giant of Africa that it has been. God bless our nation, Nigeria.”
