Gov Alia tasks Nigerians on patriotism, prayer for Nation’s progress

From Attah Ede, Makurdi 

Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has called on Nigerians to rekindle their spirit of patriotism and faith as essential ingredients for building a stronger and more united nation.

He also cautioned against acts or utterances that undermine national unity, and further enjoined Nigerians to instead promote peace, hope, and mutual responsibility.

The governor stated this during a Holy Mass at the Government House Chapel in Makurdi, Sunday.

He emphasized the need for citizens to imbibe the spirit of nationalism by showing love for their country and maintaining a positive outlook despite prevailing challenges. 

“Nigeria belongs to all of us. We must continue to pray for our country, believe in her potential, and contribute our quota to her growth. National development is a collective task that requires our unity, optimism, and hard work.”

“I want to reaffirm my administration’s dedication to peace, development, and moral rejuvenation.

 “My government will continue to implement policies that uplift the welfare of Benue people and contribute to Nigeria’s overall progress”, Alia said.

He therefore offered special prayers for the repose of departed souls, including members of the Armed Forces who paid the ultimate price for national security, as well as for past leaders and every Nigerian striving for a better future. 

He prayed for God’s wisdom, strength, and divine protection upon all citizens.

“Nigerians across all faiths and regions should remain steadfast in their prayers for the country’s peace, stability, and prosperity.

“This is because collective faith and patriotic action remain the bedrock of a great nation” he stated.
