NIGERIA, TREASURE TO BE GUARDED-Sogbein

Nigeria has been described as a treasure to be guarded by all well-meaning citizens for it to attain a place of pride in the comity of nations.


The advice is given by Honourable Yetunde Sogbein, member representing Odeda state constituency at the Ogun State house of Assembly in a press release signed by his Media Consultant as the country celebrates yet another democracy Day.


Sogbein stated that the country is blessed with enormous resources from natural to human and that she is not supposed to be poor or for her people to wallow in poverty as the situation currently is in the country.


The lawmaker blamed the situation in the country on lack of resourceful leadership which has eluded the country in time past


She opined that Nigeria is a land full of milk and honey, saying that it is only shameful and disturbing that citizenry lacks ideal standard of living.


According to her, "Nigerians starve in the midst of plenty because of our attitude to nationhood on the grounds that many people consider any opportunity to serve the country at any level as a way to amass personal gains without any consideration for the masses.


"They really do not come to terms with the veracity that they hold such positions in trust for the entire citizens of the county".


On the President Muhhamadu Buhari-led federal government, the legislator said, "they are working conscientiously to return the nation to a place of pride where Nigerians, wherever they find themselves, will be able to beat their chests'.


Sogbein however enjoined Nigerians to cultivate the habit of praying for the country at all times.


She also pured encomium on Governor Ibikunle Amosun, noting that he has created footprints that would take serious hard work to erase.


She commended the governor for the peaceful atmosphere being experienced in the State, adding that the infrastructural development has opened up the state to socio-economic development.
