We should be reminded about the things that unite us as a nation rather than things that divide us. It is high time we eschew all forms of violence, war and senseless killings in our nation. It is imperative that peace and unity in Nigeria will foster and promote progress and development in our society. Therefore, my new year message to Nigerians is that we should preach peace and unity among ourselves because this is the only way that Nigeria will be able to achieve her full potentials and occupy its prime position among the comity of nations”.

Therefore, in 2024, the people of Nigeria will savour and relish the outcomes of the hard work and solid foundation the President has laid in the past seven months. You will see that, with the completion and full operation of Dangote refinery in Lagos and coming into stream of the long-abandoned Port Harcourt refinery, relief and sanity is gradually returning to Nigeria as far as fuel supply is concerned. So, once we can sustain our consumption locally, and stop importation of fuel, the prices of petroleum products will decline because we would no longer depends on imported products which lands in our shore at very huge costs.
“I want to appeal to Nigerians to be a little more patient with the government as it is determined to bring the good old time back to Nigerians again”.
