The Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has urged Nigerians not to despair and not be discouraged by the current socio-economic challenges facing the country, but be hopeful of a better tomorrow as the country marks its 62nd independence anniversary.
The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, saluted Nigerians for their perseverance and called for their support as well as cooperation with the government at all levels, especially at this critical period in the country’s polity.
He noted that for Nigeria to survive the civil war and various military incursions, and still stand as one entity, indicates how unique the country is.
The governor urged Nigerians to draw their strength from the oneness of the country, trudge on and be optimistic about the light at the end of a dark tunnel.
The governor, however, appealed to the citizens to pray and give optimum support to President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government in its bid to take the country to the next level of economic development, security, and stability.
In Ogun State, Abiodun reassured that his administration will continue to put in place, policies that will engender socio-economic development in the state, which in turn will ensure a prosperous ambience for the people.
He added that as a just and fair administration, developmental projects will continue executed equitably among the three senatorial districts.
