The Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, on Monday called for collective efforts from all sectors to develop and grow the country.
Speaking while unveiling a signage donated by Nneji Christian Chigozie, a member of the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC) at the secretariat of the ECOWAS parliament, Ekweremadu said the people should mobilise resources for a united, strong and prosperous nation.
The deputy senate president, who lauded the initiative of the corps member, said that the contribution would be acknowledged by the sub-region, particularly Nigeria.
Ekweremadu described the contribution as a service to father land, adding that the gesture would enhance the visibility of the secretariat.
He urged all Nigerians to emulate the young corps member.
“We all have something to add to the development of our fatherland and the development of Nigeria is a collective responsibility of us all,” he said.
The lawmaker also commended the officials of the NYSC for the opportunity given to the young man to serve his fatherland.
He urged the youth to sustain the spirit of the NYSC in the interest of national development.
Nneji had earlier expressed his happiness for the opportunity to contribute his service to the fatherland and called on the youth to believe in the Nigerian project.
He also thanked the officials of the NYSC for believing in him and giving him the opportunity to serve.
