President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to utilize their diversity to drive the country’s stability and rapid development. Speaking in Rome during a meeting with members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, Tinubu emphasized the importance of leveraging the country’s diverse backgrounds for the greater good. “If we use our diversity not for adversity but for prosperity, the country’s hope is stability and progress,” Tinubu said. He also urged leaders at all levels to work tirelessly for the betterment of the citizenry. The meeting took place during President Tinubu’s visit to Rome to attend the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV. President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, Archbishop Lucius Ugorji, thanked President Tinubu for facilitating their visits to the Vatican to pay their respects to the late Pope Francis and witness the inauguration of the new Pope. Archbishop Ugorji noted that the development signaled a new era of a more robust relationship between the President and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference. “You are always there for us. Now that you have come to the Vatican, whenever we have our conference in Nigeria, we will also invite you, and we look forward to interfacing with you just as you were able to do with the Holy Father,” he said. The meeting was attended by other prominent Catholic bishops, including Archbishops Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, Alfred Martins of Lagos, and Mathew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese. President Tinubu’s meeting with the Catholic bishops underscores his commitment to building strong relationships with various stakeholders in the country.
