He noted that developed countries of the world had passed through similar if not tougher challenges and that the situation with Nigeria should not be seen as unprecedented and insurmountable.
“We will overcome current challenges if we faint not,” Ihedioha said while calling on all those in leadership and positions of authority to renew their commitment towards nation-building and place national interest above personal pursuits in discharging the burdens of public office.
