Prof. Victor Nnam, Enugu Former Commissioner,
As Nigeria steps into the new year, the former Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development in Enugu State, Professor Victor Chukwuemeka Nnam, has urged citizens to renew their hopes and remain steadfast in the pursuit of a better future for the country.
In a new year message made available to DAILY GAZETTE, Professor Nnam emphasized the importance of unity, perseverance, and collective effort in overcoming the challenges that lie ahead.
“The year 2025 presents a fresh opportunity for growth, progress, and transformation. Despite the obstacles faced in 2024, we must embrace hope and resilience as we work together to build a stronger nation for ourselves and future generations,” he said.
He called on Nigerians to take stock of the lessons learned in the past year and channel those lessons into meaningful action.
“The challenges of the past year should not diminish our spirit but inspire us to work harder, support one another, and remain committed to the values that bind us together as a people,” he added.
The former commissioner also urged the people of Enugu State and Nigerians at large to focus on the collective good, stressing that everyone has a role to play in shaping the future.
“As we enter 2025, we must be reminded that every effort counts, whether in our communities, schools, workplaces, or homes. Together, we can overcome the hardships that have tested us,” he said.
Nnam also highlighted the importance of leadership, urging both political and civic leaders to prioritize the welfare of the people.
“Effective leadership is essential to the prosperity of any society. Our leaders must be accountable, transparent, and committed to the common good. As citizens, we must also hold them to the highest standards and ensure that their actions reflect our collective aspirations. Let us work together, hand in hand, to renew our commitment to peace, unity, and development. The future belongs to us if we remain steadfast in our resolve,” he added.
