NGO calls for even development of all Geo-political zones
The Federal Government has been urged to spread infrastructure development across the six geo-political zones in the country.
The Chairman of a nongovernmental organization, Ocha Initiative for Peace and Unity, Augustine Kekeocha, gave the advice in Abuja.
He said that investing in such project across the geopolitical zones would further foster peace and unity in the country.
He noted that it would help to drive economic growth and development in the country.
“There must be significant federal presence in all geo-political zones of the country in terms of infrastructural development, appointments and justice for all Nigerians, regardless of tribe, religion or gender,” he said.
Kekeocha called for sensitisation of Nigerians on the need for one Nigeria, adding that it was of great importance to national unity.
He also noted that Nigerians must see each other beyond religion and tribes and must respect each other’s differences.
He urged government to organise a yearly national day, where every ethnic groups gather to celebrate their cultures and traditions with others.
“We must disregard state of origin in the affairs of our national building and coexistence,” he added.
