As Nigerians joins others, globally to celebrate Yuletide season, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged them to use the Christmas season to look out for one another.
In a statement, personally signed by him and made available on Sunday, Tinubu said, he is aware that the necessary reforms his government is implementing to achieve a more prosperous, peaceful nation for all have imposed unique sacrifices.
He added that his administration will continue to implement palliative measures to ease the burden on the most vulnerable, address current hardships and alleviate the suffering of all Nigerians.
The statement partly reads: “Fellow Nigerians, Christmas is a special time of the year for all of us. For Christians, this time of the year marks the birth of Jesus Christ and celebrates the hope and redemption that are the hallmarks of Christ’s life.
“For people of all faiths, this is an opportunity to enjoy the company of family, celebrate life, and delight in the gifts of love and friendship that make life worthwhile.
“This is also a time to look out for each other because, amidst the festivities, this time of year for many will be tinged with sadness: some mourning the loss of loved ones and others grieving the hopes that failed to materialise and the dreams that fell short.

“Fellow Nigerians, as we navigate this transition to stability, prosperity, and Renewed Hope, I urge you once more to hold fast and rest assured of my commitment to govern with vision, dedication, and empathy.
“Be confident that by the strength of our joint endeavour, we will shortly emerge into a new dawn of prosperity, peace, and irreversible progress.
”As you celebrate this season, please spare a moment of remembrance and prayer for the men and women of our nation’s armed forces, bearing arms in our names and ensuring our safety. My God protect them and bring them back to their families.
