The Governor made the announcement during the official swearing-in for Batch C Stream 1 Corps Members ceremony held at the NYSC Temporary Orientation Camp, Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.
Despite our challenges, Nigerians continue to demonstrate courage, enterprise, creativity and determination—our greatest national assets. At 66, we have clearly come a long way, and this is not the time to falter.
With dedication and unity of purpose, we will unlock our full potential, and build a stronger, better, and more prosperous Nigeria for present and future generations.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.
Independence Day is a time to celebrate our resilience, diversity and shared identity. It is also a time to renew our commitment to building the Nigeria we all desire.
