LAGOS State Governor, BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU, says there is no reason for Nigerians to lose hope in the country, even in the midst of challenges.
SANWO-OLU said this during a program to mark NIGERIA’s 61st Independence Anniversary celebration on Friday, at the AGEGE Stadium, LAGOS State, Southwest NIGERIA.
The governor said that as the country celebrated its independence, citizens should be mindful of the various challenges confronting them as a nation and as a state.
According to him, the citizens are equally mindful of the various vistas of progress that have opened up, and which continue to give them hope that the “Nigeria of our dreams can be achieved”.
He said that Nigerians should unite with renewed determination and commitment to move the country forward against all odds.
SANWO-OLU added that the challenges confronting the nation within the last 61 years had no doubt been daunting, but certainly not insurmountable.
