Senate President, Bukola Bukola, has extended his heart felt good wishes to all Nigerians in the New Year, calling on them to pray for a full recovery of the economy in 2018.

Bukola in a New Year message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, said a strong economy would enable the government to achieve physical development and improved standard of living of the people.

He added that God has blessed Nigeria with all the potentials necessary for her to have a strong economy that would take care of its growing population but that it was unfortunate that there is still so much underdevelopment in the country.

He noted that most of the problems now threatening the unity, progress and peace of the country were rooted in the poor state of the economy and that there was need for the government and Nigerians to work together in 2018 to ensure the success of policies initiated to rebuild the economy, create employment, attract investment opportunities and make the nation self-sufficient.

He said that government alone cannot make the economy to work but that it requires the co-operation, prayers and change of attitude on the part of the people to develop the country and make 2018 a more fruitful and beneficial year for the citizenry.



“I wish all Nigerians overflowing happiness on this joyful occasion,” Bukola said. “The end of one year and the beginning of another is always a time that is full of hope. While 2017 was challenging for many Nigerians, we must look back on the year with the knowledge that better days are ahead.

“Although we still have so much to do to achieve our desired individual and national objectives, let us rise up with courage and determination to make the situation better”, he stated.

While lauding the resilience of Nigerians in the face of national challenges and their avowed love for the unity and greater progress for the country, he noted that every Nigerian deserve a better deal.

“All of us deserve a chance to live a better life. This is why the Senate and indeed the 8th National Assembly will continue to collaborate with the executive to ensure that all the policies and programmes of the present administration targeted at making life more meaningful for the people are realized.

“The National Assembly will not spare efforts in passing more laws that will serve as catalyst for our economic stability and growth. Laws that will help make our businesses thrive. Laws that will enhance the creation of jobs and put more money in the pockets of our people”, he stated.

He wished Nigerians a happy and blessed 2018.

God has answered our prayers already by blessing us with tremendous human and natural resources to tap from...

We just have to do it right and get it right in 2018 especially our leaders .

God has already blessed Nigeria,
Good climate, almost no natural disaster,
Enough human resource, good brains
Enough natural resource to exchange for money
Large expanse of land

Yet we still call for celestial profits, God dey

It's not prayer that grow the economy, it's hard work.

Few questions for you Saraki...

Was it prayer that made you a billionaire?
Was it prayer that made you a two term governor?
Was it prayer that won the Senate for you?
Was it also prayer that made you senate president against the wishes of your party?
Was it prayer that got you out of CCT?

All these achievements of yours are products of concerted mental and physical effort.

Therefore, you guys in govt had better stopped taking every Nigerian for a fool and employ the requisite effort geared towards the growth of our bleeding economy.

we pray. buhari is defeated in 2019, and sent out of aso-rock

Let us pray for infirmities to visit those who are in government to loot Nigeria's money.

I ain't praying. Its time for politicians to work. I have prayed enough.

Faith without work = 0. The man piloting the ship of governance is brain dead so no amount of prayers can revive the economy esp at a time where the dead are considered more suitable for appointment.

Can you imagine the Senate President telling us to pray for the economy to improve! Nigeria is a joke. We don't need any prayer other than to vote out clueless and hopeless leaders.
Our vote will decide.

you animals should work.

Big AMEN to that. The only prayer line that Nigeria requires.

FortifiedCity:


Let us pray for infirmities to visit those who are in government to loot Nigeria's money.

Is that how it is done in the UK, EU, US, Japan, and China??


My only prayer is that Buhari will not bewitch gullible youths (AGAIN) in his qwest to continue ruining their future come 2019.
