HAPPY INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY 66 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
Our historic differences unites us than separates us. In a message of 66th Independence Day I felicitated with Nigerians, and "Fellow compatriots, Happy Independence Day anniversary! Every Independence day reminds us of the great history of our darling Nation, a nation of several tribes, religion and region, in whose diversity lies its strength, perseverance and vision, little wonder it is
In spite of the initial challenges of nation-building, we have made tremendous progress across all layers of our national life. Today, we remain indivisible, indissoluble, united and dedicated to utilising our diversity as a source of strength rather than division.
As we celebrate the Independence Day today, I pray that we remain committed to the pursuit of our goals, national aspirations on justice, peace, tolerance and fairness.
Happy Independence Day 1st October 1960 to 1st October 2026
