Nigerians have been encouraged to contribute to national growth and development and make conscious efforts to be a blessing to fellow county men.
The Diocesan Bishop of Ijebu Anglican Diocese, The Right Reverend Peter Oludipe gave the charge while delivering a sermon at the funeral service for Chief Duro Onabule, a veteran journalist and former Chief Press Secretary to the Erstwhile Military President Ibrahim Babangida.
Addressing the gathering at the Cathedral of Our Saviour, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Bishop Oludipe who described the late veteran journalist as an icon, hardworking and a goal-getter urged Nigerians to always endeavour to touch the lives of others positively.
The Diocesan Bishop who noted that life remained transient and short and everyone would die at God’s appointed time, equally charged Nigerians to be accountable as no mortal could escape death.
The Clergyman appealed to Nigerian leaders to show more love and care to the citizens while advising the people to pray for credible leaders ahead of the 2023 general elections and also vote for the right persons.
In a message to the event, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Muhammed described the late Chief Onabule as an individual who was humble, honest and down to earth.
The minister who was represented by the Acting Director General, Nigeria Television Authority, Mallam Abdulhamid Dembos also identified Chief Odubule as an intelligent human being and a great motivator.
The first son of the deceased, Mr Babatunde Onabule in a tribute maintained that the values learnt from his father had kept him going and had shaped his life positively.
The remains of Chief Onabule who died at the age of eighty-three were later laid to rest at a private burial witnessed by family members.
