Edi el-Fitr: Information Minister Calls On Nigerians To Recover Lost Values
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Mohammed Idris, has urged Nigerians to recover lost values and maintain prayers for peace and well-being of our leaders and country.
This was as he called on Nigerians to condemn all the dastardly acts by terrorists, hoping that they will draw from the reasons of Ramadan and ensure that Nigerians stay in peace.
Idris, who made the calls after the Eid el Fitr prayer, which was held at the Kaduna Capital School, on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 to mark the end of Ramadan, particularly called on Nigerians to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, acknowledging his efforts to reposition Nigeria among the best nations in the world.
He said; “Our economy is being repositioned, the foreign exchange market is stabilizing, and Agriculture is being repositioned so that we will have food security for our people. Indeed, the country’s security situation is also improving”.
Idris expressed concern that our values have been gradually eroded over the years thus, passionately appealed to Nigerians to unite and reclaim those values to reposition themselves and the country.
The Minister particularly urged young people to learn from the experiences of their elders and avoid being carried away by global trends.
He further said; “Nigeria is a great country; all we need to do is come together and ensure that all the good values are embraced for the benefit of Nigeria.
“For Nigeria to be great again, we must change our ways and continue demonstrating all the values learned during Ramadan,” he said.
The Chief Imam of Kapital School mosque, Imam Abdurrahman, who led the prayers, called Muslims and Christians alike to ensure that Nigeria stays in peace and unity so that it can progress.
