President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace peace and unity despite the country’s political differences.
The president stressed that all Nigerians are united as one nation regardless of political inclinations.
He made this call during the commissioning of the N9.1bn state-of-the-art Bola Ahmed Tinubu Technology Innovation Complex (BATTIC) at the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) headquarters in Sauka, Abuja.
He emphasised the importance of unity and the collective strength of the Nigerian people as the country navigates turbulent political waters, saying,”Despite the cracks that may emerge in our political landscape, we are one nation”.
He declared that “Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity and the resilience of its people. We must continue to stand together, for we can only achieve the prosperity and peace we all deserve. The path to progress is always challenging.
The President likened Nigerians to residents of one house, living in different rooms but united as one family. He reiterated that although political differences may exist, the country remains united.
While inaugurating the facility named after him, the first of its kind in Africa, President Tinubu emphasised that this milestone represents a significant step in Nigeria’s digital transformation.
He said, “The Renewed Hope administration has been relentless in its desire to create an enabling business environment that will usher in the needed economic boom for Nigerians and all those doing business in the country.
President Tinubu enjoined all security agencies to improve their performance in protecting lives and property, with a mandate to improve the country’s global security index.
“It is imperative that our ranking in the Global Security Index improves. I am using this medium to call on all security agencies to step up their activities towards achieving this goal. I assure you that my administration will give you the much-needed support in your operations. “He stated.
He highlighted its potential to enhance national security and improve the efficiency of the country’s migration and border management systems.
The President urged the Nigeria Immigration Service to leverage the new facility to safeguard Nigeria’s borders fully. He also commended the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his visionary leadership and innovative efforts, particularly in driving reforms that have enhanced Nigeria’s reputation within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and internationally.
