Nigeria @65: NUSA urges Nigerians in S/Africa to be true ambassadors
By Mark Longyen
The Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA) has called on Nigerians living in South Africa to obey the country’s laws and carry themselves with dignity as true ambassadors of Nigeria.
President General of the Union, Smart Nwobi, made the appeal in a statement issued by his aide, George Sylvester, on Wednesday to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary.
Nwobi urged Nigerians living in South Africa to also take the responsibility of contributing meaningfully to Nigeria’s growth, as well as the prosperity of their host country.
“Nigerians living abroad must realise the importance of obeying the laws of the land and carrying themselves with dignity as true ambassadors of Nigeria,” he said.
Nwobi said that by remaining law-abiding and respectful, Nigerians in the country would continue to strengthen their reputation as a hardworking, innovative and peace-loving community.
He stressed that being law-abiding in a foreign country was the surest way to build friendship bridges, foster mutual respect, and portray Nigeria as a land of great potential and promise.
“Our unity in diversity makes us stronger and better as a people with a common purpose and destiny.
“Better days are ahead for Nigeria and all Nigerians at home and abroad, and as we celebrate 65 years of independence, may we embrace renewed hope, unity and progress in our shared journey as a nation under God.
“Together, we rise. United, we thrive. With a shared vision and a collective spirit, we will build a stronger, better and more united front for ourselves and for generations to come,” he said.
The NUSA President General tasked the diasporas on steadfastness and resilience in their endeavours, and encouraged them to be relentless, while striving diligently to achieve excellence in their personal and collective pursuits.
“65 years is a journey of resilience, hope and the unbroken spirit of a nation that continues to rise above its challenges, while holding firm to the dream of greatness.
“On this historic day, as Nigeria celebrates 65 years of independence, I, together with the executives, Board of Trustees and the entire Nigerian community, therefore join millions of Nigerians worldwide in marking this remarkable milestone,” Nwobi added.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
