The Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, has congratulated Nigerians for witnessing the New Year 2021 despite the challenges of the past year.

In a New Year message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, the Speaker urged Nigerians to keep hope alive in the year 2021.

He said Nigerians should use the experiences of the preceding year, 2020, which he described as very challenging, to work towards a better 2021.

The Speaker said he was optimistic that the year 2021 holds a lot of positivity for Nigeria and Nigerians, hence the need for the citizens to remain positive.
