Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday challenged Nigerians to rededicate themselves toward building a nation they would be proud to bequeath to unborn generations.
Speaking at the inauguration of a 10,000 capacity ecumenical centre in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, Osinbajo said although it won’t be “easy” to achieve, it is “possible”.
He said: “We must make sacrifices toward building a nation of our dream. It certainly cannot be easy, but it is very possible.”
Osinbajo urged Nigerians to support government’s efforts to rid the nation of all forms of corruption, saying that the menace had stalled national growth over the years.
Represented by Seyi Malono, the state house chaplain, Osinbajo said Nigeria was in dire need of strong men and women who were committed to moving it forward.
“We are focused on experiencing the sweetness and joy of child birth; the only thing that can hold us back is corruption. We must deal with it decisively because it affects all institutions,” he said.
The Vice President described the ecumenical centre as “the house of God”, and commended Governor Seriake Dickson for building the edifice.
The ecumenical centre was built by the Bayelsa government and dedicated by Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
