Doro, has emphasized the importance of solidarity and shared responsibility in caring for vulnerable citizens on the country's 66th Independence Anniversary. In a statement issued in Abuja, Doro urged Nigerians to reflect on their collective responsibility to build an inclusive society that protects and supports those who are most in need. He stressed that government cannot bear this responsibility alone, and called upon families, communities, civil society organizations, the private sector, and development partners to play their part. Doro highlighted the need to strengthen empathy, service, responsibility, and respect for human dignity in schools, and urged the Federal Government to move beyond meeting immediate needs, instead creating opportunities for vulnerable Nigerians to rebuild their lives, enhance their resilience, and become self-reliant. He expressed confidence in Nigerians' collective ability to create a more inclusive, resilient, and prosperous nation, and wished citizens a happy Independence Anniversary.",
