I felicitate with fellow compatriots across the Nation in celebrating our Nation’s 61st Independence Anniversary today.
Reflecting on our journey in the last 61 years as a Nation, there is every reason to give thanks and praises to the Almighty God who, in His infinite mercy, has kept us together in spite of our challenges.
No doubt, we are a blessed nation with great potentials to rank among the most prosperous countries in the world.
Our resilience, resourcefulness and determination to succeed in all spheres of human endeavour is widely recognized and acknowledged across the world.
I wish to use this opportunity to make a passionate appeal, more than ever before, that we must renew our belief in the Nigeria Project and play our roles diligently.
We all need one another to survive as no part of Nigeria can do it all alone and still wield or command the kind of influence that Nigeria currently enjoys in the comity of Nations.
This is not a time to despair. It is a time to review our patriotic zeal and stand firm with our leaders at all levels in our collective efforts to make Nigeria work for all.
As we celebrate today, I enjoin all residents of our great LCDA to remain steadfast and hopeful for a better tomorrow. The future of our community is certainly brighter than anyone can imagine.
Let us therefore forge a common front to defend our hard earned freedom by been purposeful, focused and disciplined.
May the labour of our heroes past never be in vain.
Happy 61st National Independence Day!
Hon. Kunle Sanyaolu Olowoopejo (KSO) fpa.
Executive Chairman,
