Blog Site Pages MPAC Positions MPAC On Nigeria@59

Tuesday, 1 October 2019.

Nigeria must no longer waste her opportunities but seek to deepen national consciousness through public policies that address poverty and unequal development.

At the Muslim Public Affairs Centre, we believe that Nigeria could have overcome her development challenges, at least in the past three decades, if successive governments were faithful to the promises of poverty alleviation through pragmatic policies that promote even development.

As Nigeria clocks 59 today as an independent nation, the challenge before the incumbent government is to match its promises with enduring initiatives that will fast track development nationwide.

More significant is the need for peace and consensus-building among the most constituents of the country.

No group must feel denied, disregarded or alienated, but all must be afforded voice and allowed equal opportunities to reach their full potentials. As Nigeria attains 59 as an independent nation today, we call on our leaders- political, religious, community, thought and opinion leaders- to reaffirm the foundational principles of our great nation and join hands to create a better future for Nigerians.

May God bless Nigeria. Ameen.
