Christmas: NURTW scribe felicitates Nigerians, urges caution

The General Secretary of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Comrade Kayode Agbeyangi, has enjoined Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of peace love and compassion as taught through the birth of Jesus Christ.

He stated this in his Christmas and end-of-the-year goodwill message to felicitate with members of the union and Nigerians in general. The NURTW scribe urged Nigerians to use the festive season to reflect on the values of love, compassion, and sacrifice that Jesus Christ embodied.

Agbeyangi said, “This period is not for merry-making alone, we should also spare time to reflect on the birth and life of Jesus Christ. His birth teaches humility, love compassion and sacrifice. As Nigerians, we must show love to our fellow countrymen. We must love our country. As Nigerians, we must be ready to make sacrifices for the nation.”

The NURTW Scribe also used the opportunity to appeal to members of the union and other road users to always exercise caution and adhere to all safety protocols while travelling during the festive season.

“As we celebrate, let us not forget the importance of road safety. The roads can be treacherous, especially during the festive season. I urge our members and all road users to drive safely, avoid overspending, overtaking at dangerous bends and overloading, and be courteous to other road users,” he said.

He also advised drivers that all their vehicle papers are up to date to avoid embarrassment from law enforcement officers on the highways

Agbeyangi prayed for a peaceful and joyous celebration and wished members of the union and Nigerians, a happy prosperous New Year.
