* As he marks birthday with message of hope to Nigerians
By Olufemi Oni, Ilorin
The President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Funab Group of Companies Ltd, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia, has called for a credible and more purposive leadership that can harness Nigeria’s vast potential for prosperity, growth and development.
Ajia, who made the call on Sunday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, in his birthday message to Nigerians, released by his Director of Communications, Mallam Abdulrahman Aliagan, stressed
the urgent need for sociopolitical and economic reforms to address the myriad of challenges facing the nation towards paving the way for a brighter future for all and sundry.
He said: “With a firm belief in the transformative power of effective governance and sustainable economic development, I strongly believe that the problems the nation is facing are surmountable, realising that the country’s problems are primarily sociopolitical and economic in nature, and as such if adequately and effectively addressed, succour will be brought to the people.
“I also want to reiterate the
importance of cohesive and strategic interventions to steer the nation towards sustainable development.
“As I celebrate my birthday, I present to you a vision for a Nigeria that thrives on the principles of justice, accountability, and inclusive growth.”
According to the CEO, the solution to Nigeria’s problems lies in quality leadership, while expressing deep concerns on the quality, sincerity, commitment, and patriotism of those in leadership positions today. Ajia, however, urged citizens not to be overwhelmed but rather take charge of their own destiny.
He added: “We still have the power to make things better for ourselves, our families, and our communities, despite leadership challenges. We must raise our voices, take action, and work together to build a better Nigeria.”
Ajia called on Nigerians, especially the people of Kwara State, to utilise their collective power and strive for positive change.
“I urge Nigerians, particularly Kwarans, to raise their voices on issues affecting their communities, take action through volunteering and community service, support local businesses and initiatives that can promote development while embracing their collective power to work together for positive change.
“I also admonish Nigerians to share their thoughts and ideas on how to build a better Nigeria using the hashtag #NigeriaWeDeserve. Let us work together to create a brighter future for all.
“With a clear roadmap for progress and prosperity, Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment where transformation and growth are within reach, awaiting the unwavering dedication and concerted action of its leaders and citizens alike,” Ajia admonished.
