President Muhammadu Buhari has warned Nigerians against the promotion of ethnic and religious differences ahead of the 2023 general election.
Buhari was in Lafia for a two-day official visit to Nasarawa State on inspection of the construction of the Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Development Institute (AMEDI), Lafia.
The President was represented by his Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari.
He said that the federal government was not unmindful of the security challenges facing the nation, adding that the citizens must embrace one another irrespective of ethnic and religious differences.
“I am urging all Nigerians to always tolerate each other, embrace one another and work towards the peace, unity and development of the country.
“We must entrench ethnic and religious tolerance so as to achieve a common goal of making our country save and great.”
He said that the decision to build AMEDI in Lafia was because of the government's commitment to the development of agriculture, and to guaranty food security across the nation.
He expressed confidence that the agricultural institute being built by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure is to modify, add value chain as well as bring about emerging centre for Nigeria to become a hub for agro-allied technologies.
Earlier, in his address, the Executive Vice-Chairman of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, Professor Mohammed Sani-Haruna, had said the establishment of AMEDI in Lafia is one of the six AMEDI’s approved by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2021 to guaranty food security in the country.
