Best wishes to our great members at Christmas
My dear Noble Colleagues;
I greet you all on this season of joy on the birth of Jesus Christ who was sent by God to save the world from sin and establish His kingdom of peace on earth. I felicitate with you all as we celebrate Christmas once again and join all other Nigerians in giving thanks to the Almighty God whose benevolence and grace has enabled us to overcome the many challenges of the year.
I urge you all to emulate Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, and continue to pray for continued peace, progress and increased prosperity of the our Institution and our Nation at large.
The annual commemoration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ is a most auspicious time for us, as individuals and as a professional body, to rededicate ourselves to the virtues and ideals which the Messiah preached and exemplified during his earthly ministry. Let us all therefore resolve this Christmas to make the ideals of peace, harmony, tolerance, love and goodwill to all even more manifest in our interactions with ourselves and our neighbours.
It remains my sincere belief that no height of human accomplishment is beyond us as an Institution, if we can overcome our differences, such as they are, and forge a binding consensus to put the progress of the profession and well-being of our members above all other considerations.
By the special grace of God, this administration will not relent in its avowed commitment to implement its Agenda for Institutional transformation aimed at improving the welfare of our members.
On behalf of the National Council, I wish you all very joyful Christmas celebrations.
Sincerely Yours,
ESV Sir (Chief) Emmanuel Okas Wike, FNIVS, RSV, FMP, RWA
President and Chairman of the National Council
