He said his home state of Lagos is an example of the success story of Nigeria having been written off as a dying city but is now transformed into a dynamic hub of commerce, openness, and infrastructure development.
He said the country under the current APC administration, is now building the institutional framework and infrastructure networks that will bring forth an era of beneficial growth and development for all Nigeria and all Nigerians no matter your current station in life and without regard to your incidence or place of birth.
He said as the nation continues to press forward despite the unique difficulties and challenges posed this year by the global pandemic and its attendant economic difficulties, Nigeria should be proud of how it has managed the pandemic so far.
He said despite the stumbles in recent years leading to brother fighting brother, while also allowing the nation’s immense potentials to lay idle, the time is now to build on a solid foundation for a better tomorrow.
He urged all Nigerians to see the independence anniversary celebration as a reaffirmation of the nation’s being which he said should define the work to be done to be what the nation can be.

As long as this earth stands, may Nigeria too stand as among its leading nations.
