I pray God to help our leaders to govern with wisdom and integrity, so that they can work for the betterment of all citizens. I pray for a reformed judicial system that will guarantee respect and confidence in the rule of law. I pray for an end to corruption and violence in Nigeria as well as overcoming other challenges that may have hindered us from becoming a united, peaceful and prosperous nation’ he said.
Alhaji Ajia has also urged government at all levels to pursue policies and programmes that will facilitate economic growth and development in the country while stating the need to come up with policies that will have direct and positive impact on Nigerians .

“I want to remind all of us that we are capable of achieving whatever we desire when we work together. Let us take pride in our history and culture and not to forget our roots or the struggles that have brought us to where we are today. Let us renew our commitment to building a brighter, more prosperous country for ourselves and our children. I pray that, our unity continues to be our strength to usher Nigeria into the Promised Land’ Ajia, a security expert, submitted while adding that Nigeria is a land of great potentials and promises.
