The government and
people of Lagos State are delighted to join fellow compatriots across
the nation in celebrating our nation’s
56th independence anniversary today.
56th independence anniversary today.
Reflecting on our
journey in the last 56 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 inspite 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
endeavor 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 parts
diligently. At this trying and challenging time, we must aggregate our
strength and be united in focus to rescue our economy from the
stranglehold of recession.
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.
Our deal with all
Lagosians to run an all-inclusive government and make lives more
comfortable for everyone is not just a slogan. We have demonstrated
through our actions that it is a clear statement of commitment; we are
determined to actualize within the shortest time possible.
As we celebrate
today, I enjoin all Lagosians to remain steadfast and hopeful for a
better tomorrow. The future of our State is certainly brighter than
anyone can imagine. Let us therefore forge a common front to defend our
hard earned freedom by being purposeful, focused and disciplined.
May the labour of our heroes past never be in vain.
Happy 56th National Independence Day!
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!
God bless Lagos State!!
Thank you all.
Itesiwaju Ipinle Eko, lo je wa l’ogun!!!
