Ovie of Udu Kingdom, HRM Owhorhu I, has said that Nigeria can be the best country in the world, while charging the people of Udu to maintain the peace and be law-abiding in all their undertakings.

The Udu monarch, in a chat with newsmen on his return from a nine-week tour of Europe, where he was hosted by Udu sons and daughters in several European countries, said that Nigeria was a blessed country, with human and material resources that were yet be put into proper use.

He spoke in the company of his queen, HRM Oniemovikoro, and chiefs, led by the Otota of Udu Kingdom, Chief Sam Odibo and the Chairman of Udu Local Government Area, Mr. Raymond Edijala.

He said: “Let me assure you that having been to several European countries these past weeks, I can say with every sense of pride that Nigeria is a blessed land.

“We have all that is required to make our country the best in the world. We are richer than most European countries.

“What is missing is the will to selflessly manage the available resources to benefit the masses and make our world a better place to be.”

He charged the people to be united and committed to peaceful co-existence in the general interest of all, appealing to Udu sons and daughters, who travel round the world, to attract good things to Udu.
