Abuja: The Director-General, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Dr. Jobson Ewalefoh, has urged Nigerians to embrace love, hope, and a renewed sense of responsibility to national development as they celebrate Christmas. Ewalefoh made the call in a Christmas message, highlighting the significance of the season as a reminder of values that bind Nigerians together, including love, compassion for the vulnerable, and commitment to the common good.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Ewalefoh emphasized that these values are critical at a time when collective effort and understanding are required to sustain national progress. He noted that the Christmas season offers an opportunity to reflect on the resilience of Nigerians and the spirit of cooperation that continues to define communities across the country despite prevailing challenges.
