Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has enjoined the people of the state and Nigerians, in general, to reflect and draw on the lessons learned in 2022 in all aspects of human endeavours and embrace the new year 2023 with steadfastness, renewed faith, and optimism.
According to a press release on Sunday, 1st January 2023 signed by the Director-General (Press Affairs) Gombe Government House, Ismaila Uba Misilli, said that this is even as the Governor expressed the hope that the new year will be a bright and prosperous one for both the state and Nigeria.
The Governor, in his New Year message, urged the people to look to the future with optimism and continue to work for peace and unity as well as security and development of the state and the country.
He acknowledged the resilience and perseverance of the people of the state in the face of daunting socio-economic difficulties in the past years occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic and now Russia- Ukraine war as well as the prevailing insecurity in Nigeria, urging the citizenry not to despair but keep hope alive and maintain the undying spirit.
He said, “The year 2023 holds a great promise for all of us. It is an important year in which we are yet again going to the polls to elect our leaders at various levels. So as we enter the New Year, I call on all of us to draw on the lessons learned in 2022 in all aspects of human endeavours and continue to work assiduously for the peace, progress, security, and development of our dear state,” he stated.
Governor Inuwa assured that given the aggressive industrialization drive of his administration, creating the enabling environment and building the necessary social and physical infrastructure for the people to achieve their aspirations, Gombe has been placed on an irreversible path of socio-economic prosperity and greatness.
Governor Inuwa thanked the people of the State for their unwavering prayers, support, and solidarity for his administration in the past years, urging them to continue in the same manner for the consolidation of the gains recorded so far and the attainment of our collective aspirations.
