Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has called on Nigerians to uphold the nation’s founding values of patriotism, resilience, and unity. Speaking during a public address, Sanwo-Olu emphasized the importance of national solidarity in addressing current challenges. He highlighted the need for citizens to prioritize the country’s interests over individual gains.

The governor urged citizens to demonstrate loyalty to the nation by adhering to its core principles. He also stressed the role of education in instilling these values among the youth. Sanwo-Olu noted that national progress depends on collective effort and shared responsibility.

This call comes amid ongoing discussions about the state of national cohesion in Nigeria. Recent surveys have shown a decline in public trust in political institutions, prompting leaders to reiterate the importance of unity. Sanwo-Olu’s message aligns with broader efforts by the federal government to promote national identity. The governor’s remarks were part of a campaign to foster civic engagement and strengthen social bonds.
