President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday assured all Nigerians that better days lay ahead of the nation despite its current challenges.
Buhari gave the assurance in a Christmas message he personally signed and made available to journalists in Abuja.
“I am deeply convinced that better days lie ahead for us as a nation as we make progress on all the major fronts where we have set our energies to surmount the challenges. I wish you all happy Christmas celebrations,” the President said.
He described the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ as an important opportunity for Nigerians to show love to one another and encourage unity by spending quality time with their friends, families and the less privileged.
He said it was also an occasion to draw inspiration from the exemplary lifestyle and teachings of Jesus Christ, who he said constantly stood for what is right, true and honest.
He regretted that the nation had witnessed an upsurge in the activities of trans-border syndicates who lure youths to modern slavery through irregular migration.
He said government had stepped up efforts to halt “this wickedness against the upwardly mobile generation,” and had evacuated some compatriots stranded abroad.
The President appealed to them to shun the allure of embarking on such perilous journeys
