Oyo State Director of National Orientation Agency, Kayode Odedokun, has felicitated with Christians on Easter celebration, and called on Nigerians to patronise home-made goods.

“We have no other country to call our own, everyone must rise up and partake in the  revolution of the mind, which is the seed of all revolutions,” he said.

In a statement he issued on Saturday in Ibadan, the director said Nigerians needed attitudinal change in the patronage of goods produced in the country. 

He said that patronage of locally-made goods was a pathway to Nigeria’s progress, economic stability and increased employment opportunities.

He called for moderate celebration as well as prayers for the country to overcome its challenges, adding that government alone cannot tackle the challenges, and urged Nigerians to complement its efforts.
