Hon. Sunday Dare

Hon. Sunday Dare, Spokesman to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has called for stronger institutions, responsible leadership and active citizenship as critical foundations for achieving lasting peace and sustainable national development.

Dare made the call while delivering a distinguished lecture at the Faculty of Law, Northwest University, Kano, where he spoke on the theme, “Peace, Leadership & Nation Building.”

He said Nigeria’s journey towards a prosperous and peaceful future required more than political promises, stressing that the country must deliberately strengthen its institutions and encourage citizens to take greater responsibility for the future of the nation.

According to him, sustainable nation-building requires the combined efforts of government, citizens, the media, civil society, humanitarian organisations and, most importantly, young Nigerians.

Dare identified six strategic frameworks which he said could provide a foundation for sustainable peace and national development.

The first, he said, was a radical institutional overhaul for justice, involving a shift from what he described as a culture of strongmen to one anchored on strong institutions.

He argued that Nigeria’s development could not depend solely on the personalities occupying positions of authority, but must be supported by institutions capable of delivering justice, accountability and effective governance regardless of who is in power.

Dare also advocated economic empowerment driven by innovation and inclusion, particularly for young Nigerians.

He called for greater investment in opportunities that would enable young people to contribute meaningfully to the economy while encouraging Nigeria to move towards a knowledge-driven and production-based economic model.

He identified civic education, peace culture and re-orientation as another essential component of nation-building.

According to him, citizens, especially young people, must understand their rights and responsibilities, the country’s shared history and their role in building a united and peaceful Nigeria.

Dare further called for an uncompromising anti-corruption ethos, stressing the need to establish transparent systems in which corrupt practices become high-risk and low-reward.

He said stronger accountability mechanisms would help restore public confidence while discouraging the misuse of public resources.

On the role of the media, the presidential spokesman advocated responsible and courageous journalism, urging journalists to remain committed to truth, national cohesion and responsible public discourse.

He noted that the media has a powerful role in shaping public opinion and strengthening democracy, adding that journalism should contribute to informed debate and peaceful engagement.

Dare also emphasised the importance of civil society and humanitarian advocacy, calling for an independent and objective sector capable of defending human dignity, civil rights, peace and good governance.

He said civil society organisations must continue to serve as credible voices for accountability while remaining committed to peaceful and constructive engagement.

The presidential spokesman stressed that nation-building could not be left to government alone.

He said the responsibility must be shared by leaders, institutions, citizens, the media, civil society and young people who would inherit the country’s future.

Dare urged Nigerians to see nation-building as a collective duty, noting that achieving the desired Nigeria would require sustained commitment, responsible leadership and active participation from all sectors of society.

He said the future of Nigeria remained in the hands of its citizens and urged them to work together to build a country anchored on justice, opportunity, peace, accountability and human dignity.
