Such people are rare in our society. I believe in the unity of this country, if an Hausa man can do a project on an Igbo man, if a Yoruba man can also do a project on aa Hausa man, there is no doubt that the unity of this country will be strong and that is the only thing that can unite us as a nation and as one family.
