The National Executive Council and the National Executive Committee of the Alumni Association of the National Institute (AANI), have called on the government at all levels to prioritise and enhance the socio-economic well-being of the citizens.

It also urged government to address the root causes of conflicts and pressing needs of the people while fostering a society built on justice, equity, and inclusiveness.

AANI enjoined vibrant youth on the society to eschew all acts inimical to peace and security and to channel their energy toward constructive endeavours that contribute to national development.

It added: ?Shun acts of violence, extremism, and any behaviour that undermines the fabric of our society. Embrace education, innovation, and entrepreneurship as catalysts for positive change and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of our beloved nation.

?As an association committed to the ideals of nation-building, AANI reaffirms its dedication to contributing to Nigeria?s national development through sound advice, policy advocacy, and initiatives that foster a better, more united society. Together, we can overcome our challenges and build a future defined by shared prosperity and harmony.

?I would like to reiterate that in this season of reflection and renewal, let us all recommit to the values of love, tolerance, and selflessness that Christmas represents and embrace the New Year with hope and determination. On behalf of the entire Alumni Association of the National Institute, I wish you a joyful Christmas celebration and a fulfilling New Year. May 2025 bring peace, progress, and prosperity to us all, amen.?
