Easter Message: Present Hardships Are Temporary, Shettima Tells Nigerians

The present hardships are temporary. The vice-president expressed optimism that the country would overcome its current economic and security challenges.

Vice-President Kashim Shettima on Sunday assured Nigerians that the present difficulties facing the country were temporary, with better days ahead under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

Shettima gave the assurance in an Easter message issued by his spokesperson, Stanley Nkwocha, in Abuja.

He reiterated the administration’s commitment to peace, economic recovery and long-term prosperity, noting that the path to national renewal often required sacrifice and collective resolve.

The vice-president expressed optimism that the country would overcome its current economic and security challenges.

According to him, although Nigerians have endured difficult times and citizens face significant challenges, the nation has never been defined by adversity.

“I remain confident that by our collective will, shared sacrifice, and abiding faith in the promise of this nation, we shall triumph over whatever challenges beset us momentarily,” he said.

Mr Shettima urged Nigerians to remain united and continue supporting the Tinubu administration’s ongoing reforms.

He stressed that national progress required patience, endurance and a shared sense of purpose.

The vice-president also called on citizens to reject division and embrace the values that bind them together as one people, noting that Nigeria’s diversity remained one of its greatest strengths.

Speaking on the significance of Easter, Mr Shettima said the Christian message of sacrifice, hope and resurrection reminded the nation that no period of hardship lasted forever.

The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye, has stated that Nigerians in the Diaspora should not be viewed as a consular burden but rather as a veritable asset for national development.

The Minister made this known during a courtesy visit by the Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, alongside the Commission’s top management staff, to his office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Headquarters in Abuja.

Amb. Enikanolaiye noted that Nigerians across the globe are making remarkable contributions in their various fields of endeavour, adding that only a few individuals are responsible for the negative media narratives about Nigeria abroad.

Despite these isolated incidents, he stressed that the country’s outlook remains positive.

While acknowledging NiDCOM for its remarkable strides over the years despite numerous challenges, the Minister said the Commission has effectively filled the institutional gap that existed before its establishment, thereby justifying the Federal Government’s decision to create the Commission.

He also commended the Chairman/CEO of NiDCOM, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, for her resilience, dedication, and commitment over the years.

According to him, her efforts have continued to place Nigerians in the Diaspora on the global map while ensuring that their skills, expertise, and resources are harnessed for Nigeria’s national development.

He further reaffirmed the Ministry’s readiness to continue working closely with NiDCOM in advancing the 4Ds Foreign Policy Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He suggested a strategic engagement with the Nigeria Governors’ Forum aimed at strengthening collaboration between state governments and Nigerians in the Diaspora to enhance development initiatives across the country.

In her response, the Chairman/CEO of NiDCOM, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, highlighted the Commission’s achievements since its establishment while also outlining some of its challenges, including inadequate funding and the need for a permanent office structure.

She formally congratulated Ambassador Enikanolaiye on his appointment as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and noted that NiDCOM has, over the years, enjoyed a cordial and productive working relationship with successive Ministers of State for Foreign Affairs.

NAF Rotates Troops In Operation FANSAN YAMMA To Sustain Combat Readiness And Personnel Welfare

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully conducted another scheduled troop rotation in Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Zamfara State, reaffirming its commitment to sustaining a highly motivated, resilient and mission-ready force.

The exercise forms part of the Service’s deliberate operational policy of periodically rotating personnel deployed across theatres of operation to preserve combat effectiveness, mitigate operational fatigue and ensure the continuous delivery of decisive air and ground support in defence of Nigeria’s territorial integrity.

Under the leadership of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, troop rotation has become a key enabler of operational success, reflecting the understanding that personnel welfare and mission accomplishment are mutually reinforcing. As one contingent concludes its operational tour and proceeds on well-deserved rest and reunites with loved ones, another batch of well-trained personnel seamlessly assumes frontline responsibilities with renewed energy, ensuring uninterrupted operational tempo and sustained pressure on criminal elements and other threats to national security.

Coordinated by the Directorate of Regiment under the Operations Branch at Headquarters Nigerian Air Force, the rotation highlights the Service’s unwavering resolve to protect not only the nation but also the men and women entrusted with that responsibility.
