The Andoma of Doma, Alh. Dr Ahmadu Aliyu Oga Onawo, has called on Nigerian students to discard negative mindsets and take responsibility for rebuilding and rebranding the nation as future leaders.
The monarch made the call when 300-level students of the Department of History and International Studies, Federal University of Lafia, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace in Doma, Nasarawa State.
Describing Nigeria as one of the richest countries in the world, endowed with abundant mineral resources and talented citizens excelling abroad, the traditional ruler advised the students to prioritize national interest over personal, ethnic, or religious considerations.
“Leadership comes from God. Whenever you are given the opportunity to serve, let Nigeria come first in your mind. Do not join those who use tribe and religion to divide and destroy the country,” he said.
Earlier in his remarks, the Head of the Department, Dr. Ezekiel Obuje, said the visit was part of the department’s research methodology course.
He noted that Doma was selected for its rich cultural heritage and unique historical system, which the students are documenting for publication.
The visit formed part of the students’ field research aimed at preserving and promoting the historical identity of Doma Kingdom.
