The National Council for Arts and Culture has advised Nigerians to focus more on being united, discard ethnicity and religious bias.
The Council’s Director General, Olusegun Runsewe who gave the advice while speaking in Lagos, said ethnicity and religious bigotry were the major factors dividing Nigerians.
According to the DG, the nation’s 59th independence anniversary should be a strong turning point for Nigerians to come together. He said that they should face the reality and believe in the nation’s potential which cut across all sectors of the economy.
Runsewe noted that individuals, regardless of their ethnic groups and religions, must come together and make the nation greater than it was. He also urged Nigerians to stop projecting other cultures better than the nation’s saying that Nigerian culture is richer, modest and in all sense more attractive than other cultures.
