In a statement on Thursday, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, minister of
interior, congratulated Nigerians on the celebration.
While acknowledging the socio-economic hardship facing
Nigerians, the minister assured citizens of the government’s commitment to
tackling the issues.
“It is a known fact that difficult Socio-Economic and
Security challenges are global, and Nigeria is not isolated,” the statement
reads.
“Our warm welcoming spirit and love, as well as our
unbounded human capital and the richness of our land, make Nigeria unarguably
the leading black Nation in the world being Africa’s pride and a beacon of
hope.
The minister recalled that “our founding fathers, in spite
of the differences in faith, tribe, and tongue, came together for Nigeria’s freedom
which we enjoy today”.
He said the current administration, through the “Renewed
Hope Agenda”, would ensure a better Nigeria for all citizens “as a befitting
tribute to our heroes past”
