Matane urged Nigerians to continue to extol the virtues of love, harmony, peaceful co-existence and respect for one another, irrespective of religious, political or social affiliations.
Alhaji Ibrahim Matane, the
Secretary to the Niger State Government (SSG) has urged Nigerians to shun fake
news and hate speech for peace, progress and political stability to be attained
in the country.
He made the call in a
statement issued by his Information Officer, Lawal Tanko in Minna on Tuesday to
mark Nigeria’s 59th Independence Anniversary.
He explained that the
enduring significance of the anniversary would find its true meaning if used as
a platform for deep reflection and soul-searching on how far the country had
gone as a nation.
He appealed to people of
the state to use the period to engender patriotism, unflinching loyalty and
support to the programmes and policies of the present administration to achieve
accelerated development.
He called on the people to
be more security conscious to overcome the challenges of banditry, cattle
rustling and kidnapping bedevilling some parts of the country.
He said that the present
administration was leaving no stone unturned in fashioning out strategies that
would bring lasting solution to the security situation in the state.
