On this special occasion of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, Bolaji Omotayo Daramola, has called for a united front in tackling the country’s challenges, while urging the leaders to design workable policies to scale up the country economy not just on paper but in reality.
In his words, “As we celebrate, it is also a time to reflect on the journey ahead. Our nation is blessed with immense potential—both in human and natural resources. But to truly unlock this potential, it is imperative that our leaders place the welfare of Nigerians at the forefront of their policies and actions. The well-being of every Nigerian, irrespective of background or status, should be a top priority in governance.”
“We need to focus on policies that foster economic growth, create job opportunities, and reduce poverty. The development of critical infrastructure, access to quality education, affordable healthcare, and sustainable agriculture are essential for building a prosperous future for our nation. Equally important is the need for security and peace to ensure every citizen can pursue their aspirations without fear.”
As we mark Nigeria’s 64th anniversary of independence, BOD further urged every Nigerian to remain hopeful and steadfast in the belief that, with the right leadership and collective effort, a brighter and more prosperous future is possible.
He also noted that, it is imperative for us to work together in unity and determination to make Nigeria a country we can all be proud of—one that truly serves the interest of its people and upholds the values of justice, equity, and progress.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!
