The strength of any nation lies not only in the soundness of its policies, but in the courage of its people and leaders to stay the course. Policies, no matter how well-crafted, require consistency, patience, and faith in the process. When we remain steadfast, when we follow through with discipline and vision, we will eventually reap the fruits of our efforts. At this stage of our national journey, what we need most is for our states and local governments to rise to the challenge to scale up their activities and match words with action. Development does not happen by chance; it happens by deliberate effort, by commitment at every level of governance. Nigeria is a nation richly blessed with fertile land, abundant natural resources, and, above all, a resilient and industrious people. A country with such vast arable land should not be faced with the challenge of food insecurity. The Land Use Act places all lands in the hands of state governments, and with that comes a sacred responsibility to use this land wisely, productively, and for the common good. Fellow Nigerians, our land holds promise. Our people hold potential. But potential alone is not enough it must be cultivated, nurtured, and translated into productivity. We must return to the soil, not just in agriculture, but in spirit grounded, rooted, and determined to grow. Nigeria is not just a geographical space; it is our collective heritage. It belongs to each and every one of us regardless of tribe, faith, or region. We owe this nation our goodwill, our honesty, and our hard work. Let us therefore commit ourselves anew to building a nation that feeds itself, that sustains itself, and that believes in itself. Together, with unity of purpose and consistency of action, we can transform Nigeria into the prosperous homeland we all dream of. Thank you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
