The President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Mr Emeka Obegolu, has issued a statement calling on Nigerians to come together and build a united nation where the business community can thrive and contribute to national development. As the country celebrates the 2024 Easter festivities, Obegolu emphasized the need for the government and relevant stakeholders to create an enabling environment for businesses to flourish.
Easter, also known as Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, is a significant Christian festival observed globally. The festival is celebrated to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after his crucifixion on Good Friday. It represents the triumph of life over death and encompasses the crucifixion, burial, and subsequent resurrection of Christ.
Obegolu urged entrepreneurs and business owners to take advantage of the opportunities presented by Easter to recommit themselves to excellence and innovation in their respective fields. He also reiterated the importance of supportive policies, infrastructure development, and access to finance for sustainable business growth.
Furthermore, Obegolu stressed the significance of fostering collaboration and partnerships among businesses, encouraging networking, knowledge-sharing, and joint initiatives. By doing so, a solid foundation can be established for economic progress and job creation, ultimately contributing to national development.
“On behalf of the Executive Council and members of ACCI, I extend warm wishes for a joyful and blessed Easter celebration to all Nigerians. And I encourage everyone to embrace the true spirit of Easter characterized by love, forgiveness, and hope, as we work together towards building a prosperous and united nation,” said Obegolu in the statement.
