Responding to the themes of the lecture, Dr. Onoja, SAN, called on the Nigerian government to address issues surrounding citizenship and state of origin.



 He urged policymakers to prioritize unity and inclusivity, stating, “We are all Nigerians, and we must do everything possible to unite us as one Nigeria. Practices that marginalize our best talents in public endeavours must be addressed for the nation’s progress.”

Our reporter reports that, various speakers at the occasion advocated the need for united country rather than dwelling on who is a citizen and settler there by depriving us the best representative at all levels of government which is not healthy for the growth, peace, progress and the development of the country.
