Nigeria’s Data Masters, Globacom, has commended Nigerians for successfully practising democracy in the last seventeen years with the concomitant effect of gradually leading the country on the path of justice, liberty, and egalitarianism.
In a statement in Lagos, Globacom observed that “the last 17 democratic years of our nation have been a learning curve for politicians and citizens who have improved on internal and external communication and amicable resolution of issues in a peaceful and democratic manner. This culminated in the watershed election that led to the ouster of a sitting government through the ballot for the first time in the country”.
“We urge all the arms of government to cooperate and firm up strategies to pull Nigeria out of dire straits. They should also formulate viable and enduring strategies that will make the country live up to its appellation as the giant of Africa, whilst building institutions that would safeguard the perpetuation of democratic ethos in the country forever,” the network added.
On the economic realities in the country, Globacom enjoined Nigerians to avail government their unalloyed support, adding that if the citizenry and the private sector collaborated effectively with government, the country would triumph over the current vicissitudes sooner than later.
The company encouraged Nigerians to continue to make sacrifices and offer prayers for God to turn potentials to advantages, and dreams to realities.
The statement advised the country’s leaders to carefully harness Nigeria’s human and natural resources in a sustainable manner in order to lead the nation to the Promised Land.
Globacom which has consistently been adjudged the leader in data observed that it was under the democratic dispensation that the telecommunications industry was deregulated to make telephony available and affordable to all. It added that the giant strides recorded in the sector and others were worthy fruits of democracy.
While charging Nigerians to keep hope aglow by keeping faith with the leaders, Globacom said: “Nigeria will surely overcome.”
The company further asked for continuous patronage of its services especially its super fast and reliable data offerings which are designed to add value to Nigerians’ communication experience in a robust manner. Democracy Day is celebrated in Nigeria every May 29 to commemorate the smooth transition to the fourth Republic.
