The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Anti-Corruption Awareness Organization of Nigeria (ACAON), Prince Kola Kadewolu, has expressed confidence in a brighter future for Nigerians, declaring that poverty and hardship will ease significantly in 2025.
Speaking during a media briefing in Benin City, Edo State, Prince Kadewolu attributed his optimism to the resilience of Nigerians and the special grace of God. He encouraged citizens to remain steadfast despite the challenges posed by ongoing reforms introduced by the current administration.
“The reforms may seem harsh now, but with time, patience, and the support of every Nigerian through prayers and hard work, the country will see meaningful progress,” Prince Kadewolu stated.
The ACAON chairman lauded the introduction of the student loan scheme, describing it as a commendable initiative that would bring relief to many families. “This policy marks a step in the right direction, especially for young Nigerians seeking access to education,” he noted.
On a more somber note, Prince Kadewolu extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of victims of recent food distribution stampedes in Oyo, Anambra, and Abuja, which claimed several lives. He urged the government to act swiftly in addressing the root causes of poverty to prevent similar incidents in the future.
“The President must prioritize and expedite the implementation of poverty-alleviation reforms to ensure such tragedies become a thing of the past,” he emphasized.
Marking his birthday anniversary, Prince Kadewolu expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for the gift of life and took the opportunity to extend warm wishes to Nigerians during the festive season.
“I congratulate all Nigerians on the occasion of Christmas and the New Year. Let us enter 2025 with hope, perseverance, and a commitment to unity and progress. I wish you all a prosperous New Year!” he said.
As Nigeria steps into 2025, Prince Kadewolu’s message serves as a call for resilience, patience, and collective effort in building a brighter future for all.
