He urged citizens to remain optimistic about the nation’s future, despite prevailing challenges.
“As we celebrate the joy and grace of Christmas, I extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt goodwill to all Christian faithful in Enugu State and across Nigeria,” the governor said.
According to him, Christmas serves as a reminder of enduring values that should guide individual and collective conduct.
“Christmas reminds us of the enduring values of love, peace, sacrifice, and hope,” he noted.

“May the Holy Season further unite us, and may the coming year strengthen our resolve to build the future our children deserve,” he added.
He also wished the people of Enugu state, known as Ndi Enugu, and Nigerians nationwide a peaceful and hitch-free Christmas celebration.
