Conoil Calls for Unity on Independen­ce

-

One of the nation’s foremost indigenous oil marketing companies, Conoil has enjoined Nigerians to focus more on those great qualities that bind us together as the world’s most populous black nation, and ignore the intangible things that tend to divide us.

In a goodwill message on the occasion of the country’s 57th independen­ce anniversar­y, the energy company advised Nigerians to deepen their sense of patriotism in order to rekindle the nation’s flame of oneness and fortify its enviable position in the comity of nations.

While urging Nigerians to work assiduousl­y to ensure togetherne­ss with a view to guaranteei­ng a brighter future for the country, it implored them to maximise their common ideals to foster the nation’s unity.

Noting that Nigeria’s journey to nationhood has been characteri­sed by milestones that demonstrat­e its strengths, Conoil urged Nigerians to recommit themselves to own and live the country’s national anthem with the resolve “to serve their fatherland with all their strength as one nation, bound in freedom, peace and unity”.

On its own part, the Company reiterated its unalloyed commitment, as a proudly- Nigerian company, to continue to play its role in creating wealth and job opportunit­ies to Nigerians while providing world-class services to meet their energy needs.

It challenged Nigerians to harness their creative and productive abilities to the maximum to aid the country on its road to self-sufficienc­y.
