The Director-General of National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Professor Abubakar Sulaiman, has urged Nigerians to foster inclusivity, dialogue and cooperation among all segments of the society in the spirit of Easter celebration.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Professor Sulaiman said this in his Easter message in Abuja and urged all Nigerians to recommit themselves to the values of accountability, transparency and service to humanity.
He said, “We are reminded of the importance of unity and collaboration. As we work towards our common goal of promoting democratic ideals and effective governance, let us harness the spirit of Easter to foster inclusivity, dialogue and cooperation across all sectors of society.
“In this season of hope and possibility, let us recommit ourselves to the values of accountability, transparency and service to humanity.
“Together, let us build a Nigeria where the principles of democracy thrive and the aspirations of our citizens are realised.”
The DG said at NILDS, there was a resonance between the essence of Easter and the institute’s mandate of fostering legislative excellence, democratic governance and sustainable development.
He said just as the period represented a time of rebirth and renewal, the institute was committed to continuously revitalising efforts toward advancing legislative research, capacity building and policy advocacy.
Professor Sulaiman said, “Through our programmes and initiatives, we strive to empower lawmakers, policymakers and stakeholders with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of governance and contribute meaningfully to national development.”
