He said: I want to implore government workers and the public to support government policies for the development of our nation.
“No matter how sound and valid a policy may be, if citizens don’t support it, it will not achieve what it’s meant for.
“For instance, if economic policy is formulated and people are not carried along, they may not support it and such policy will fail.
“I urge office holders to ensure they enlighten people on policies introduced for success of such policies.
“For speedy socio-economic development, all hands must be on deck. Both public officeholders and people must work to implement government policies.
“So, I implore citizens to support government policies which enhances success of such policies and development of Nigeria.”
