The Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Water Resources, Hon. Olubukola Oyewo has expressed hope that 2021 will be a better year for Nigeria.
In his new year message signed by his media office, the lawmaker urged his constituents to remain thankful to God for preserving them and the state in peace despite the myriads of challenges that were experienced last year.
He said the challenges any country faces can be surmounted through a collective effort.
Hon. Oyewo said: “The last year was eventful for our democracy, our economy, our health and all facets of our National Life.Thus, I felicitate with the constituents of Osogbo Federal Constituency, Osun residents and all Nigerians on witnessing the first day of the year 2021.
“Beyond the start of a New Year, it is a chance to make profound changes. This New Year is pregnant with possibilities, and if maximised, is a New Dawn for us as individuals and collectively as a nation.
“We must go into the New Year with a new perspective to life in general and the issues that concern Nigeria in particular.
“Also, we must exhibit a renewed patriotism and commitment to seeing Nigeria thrive and prosper.
“We must also commit to sanitising the image of Nigeria and Nigerians in the Committee of nations by ensuring that each of us is doing everything to project the right image of us as a nation.
“Beyond these, we must set our hands on the plough, as opposed to merely talking. We must, as J.F Kennedy succinctly put it, ask what we can do for Nigeria and do it.”
"I wish you all a fabulous and blissful new year", he concluded.
