As Nigeria marks her 65th Independence Anniversary, I, Dan Obo, Special Adviser on Youth Mobilization, Cross River State, join millions of compatriots across the nation and in the diaspora to celebrate this historic day.
Independence Day is not only a reminder of the sacrifices of our heroes past but also a call to action for every citizen to contribute to nation-building. It is a time to reflect on how far we have come, the challenges we have overcome, and the collective responsibility we share in shaping a brighter future.
Today, our country stands as a testament to unity, resilience, and progress. Despite the hurdles, Nigerians continue to demonstrate unmatched strength, creativity, and determination in every sector of life.
For us in Cross River State, this celebration reinforces our commitment to the “People First” vision of His Excellency, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, whose leadership continues to inspire hope and inclusive growth for all.
To the youths, the heartbeat of our nation: You are not just leaders of tomorrow but change-makers of today. Let us continue to embrace innovation, unity, and patriotism, working together to build the Nigeria of our dreams.
As we celebrate this 65th Independence, may we be guided by the values of peace, hard work, and solidarity that define our great nation.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! 🇳🇬
Long Live Cross River State!
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
