Despite Insecurity Challenges, Peace Will Return to Nigeria, Says Onyejeocha
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mrs. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, has expressed optimism that peace will eventually return to Nigeria, despite ongoing security challenges across the country.
Speaking in a message on her birthday, Onyejeocha extended solidarity to Nigerians navigating uncertainty and hardship.
In a show of compassion, she chose to mark the occasion not with lavish celebrations but by visiting orphanages, demonstrating a commitment to service and community care.
The Minister visited the City of Refuge Orphanage Home in Durumi and Destined Children’s Orphanage at Kado Estate, Abuja, where she donated food items and welfare materials to vulnerable children.
During her visits, she spent time with the children, offering encouragement and support.
Addressing the nation’s security challenges, Onyejeocha acknowledged efforts to undermine collective unity and progress, calling on Nigerians to remain resilient and hopeful. She said:
“As I mark another year today, my heart is with every Nigerian facing the uncertainty and pain that these challenging times bring. While we are confronted by despair and deliberate sabotage of our collective will for unity and progress, we must choose hope over despair, unity over designed fragmentation of our people.
Nigeria has weathered horrendous storms in times past; we will together do it again and emerge victorious as one nation under God. Peace will indeed return to our land.”
Onyejeocha’s message comes amid ongoing efforts by the federal government to tackle insecurity in the country.
She encouraged citizens to retain faith in the sincerity and capacity of the Tinubu administration to address these challenges, emphasizing the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and protection of all Nigerians.
