The Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), a vocal Nigerian-based  non-governmental organization,NGO, has joined eminent Nigerians to lend voice in commending the Federal Government and the delegates of the just concluded National Conference for being   able to sit together and articulate issues of national interest without so much hitches.

The group noted that the report handed over to President Goodluck Jonathan has  renewed hope for a better Nigeria among the citizens.

TAN, in a statement in Abuja by its Director of Operations, Mr Ben-Chuks Nwosu, expressed satisfaction that the delegates were able to reach agreement and consensus on contentious issues  irrespective of tribe, religion, social class, ethnic and or geopolitical backgrounds; noting that they demonstrated rare deep sense of patriotism worthy of emulation by all.

The statement noted that the success of the conference didn’t just prove critics and enemies of the nation wrong but also depicts a strong indication that Nigerians are ever willing to live together, work together and fight their problems together as a people of one entity and one destiny. It added that the success has enhanced hope towards the realization of a greater Nigeria which Jonathan President is championing through the Transformation Agenda.

TAN also expressed satisfaction with the content of the report, observing that it contains issues that will positively serve the interest of the people in general and in particular provide solution to the problems emanating from the various geopolitical zones of the country.
The statement cited the conference recommendation for the creation of one additional state out of the South-east  to bring the number of states in the zone at par with other zones as a welcome development.
