DEAR Fellow Nigerians, I write to you today with a call to action for all Nigerian artists, celebrities, politicians, and business leaders, both at home and abroad. It is time for us to unite and tackle two of our nation’s most pressing challenges: the need for a stable power supply and the housing deficit. Reliable electricity and adequate housing are fundamental to improving the quality of life and empowering our people. Without consistent power, businesses struggle, and daily life is disrupted. Similarly, the lack of proper housing deprives many Nigerians of their basic right to shelter. Addressing these interconnected issues is crucial for our country’s development and prosperity. Our celebrities and business leaders have thrived thanks to the support of Nigerians both at home and abroad.
Now, it’s time to give back. I urge all Nigerian celebrities, politicians, business leaders, and government officials to collaborate and strategise on sustainable solutions for stable electricity and housing. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that Nigerians enjoy a quality of life comparable to that in other countries. Nigerians in the diaspora have valuable experiences and resources that can greatly aid in addressing these issues. By partnering with real estate and energy companies, we can make significant progress in closing the housing gap and providing affordable, reliable electricity. Investing in stable power and housing will have a positive ripple effect on other sectors. Reliable electricity will lower the cost of building materials, telecommunications, food, transportation, clothing, education, and healthcare, making them more affordable and boosting economic growth. It is essential for all stakeholders to come together, including politicians, traditional leaders, and other influential figures. By forming partnerships with energy and real estate companies, we can create effective strategies to address these challenges.

I passionately call on all Nigerians, at home and abroad, to support the federal, state, and local governments in their efforts to ensure stable energy and affordable housing for all. Let us unite to provide these essentials and improve the quality of life for every Nigerian. I urge President Bola Tinubu, past and current leaders, influential figures, and all Nigerians to join hands in this noble cause.
