Nigeria @65: Northern CAN Urges Hope, Calls on Leaders to Strengthen Nation-Building

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Northern region and the FCT, has congratulated Nigerians on the country’s 65th Independence Anniversary with a message of hope and a call on leaders to recommit themselves to nation-building.In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Northern CAN Chairman, Rev. Joseph John Hayab, described the anniversary as a moment of sober reflection and renewed commitment to Nigeria’s unity and progress.He said that despite prevailing challenges, Nigeria remains a blessed nation with vast human and natural resources capable of driving national greatness.“

Nigeria is our country, and we must continue to believe in it. We must not surrender our hope to despair,” Rev. Hayab stated. “Our responsibility as citizens is to contribute positively to nation-building, while our leaders must double their efforts to provide the right leadership that will inspire confidence and restore the dignity of being Nigerian.”

The cleric urged political, religious, and community leaders to rededicate themselves to tackling insecurity, poverty, unemployment, and other pressing challenges. He stressed that citizens can only feel a true sense of belonging when leaders work selflessly to guarantee justice, equity, and fairness.

Rev. Hayab further emphasized that Nigeria’s diversity should be viewed as a strength rather than a source of division, calling on all stakeholders to rise above selfish interests and prioritize the common good.“ Nigeria has what it takes to be a beacon of hope in Africa and beyond,” he added. “What is needed is sincerity, vision, and action that put the welfare of the people first.”

He reaffirmed CAN’s commitment to engaging constructively with stakeholders across all divides to ensure peace, unity, and progress remain at the heart of the Nigerian project.
