The minister of interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who announced the public holiday, congratulated Nigerians on the celebration of the country’s 62nd anniversary.

He reiterated the government’s commitment to tackling and eradicating all forms of challenges – be they political, socio-economic or otherwise.

The ministry’s permanent secretary, Shuaib Belgore, quoted Aregbesola as saying that, “The world is going through dire economic and security challenges which have also affected our nation. However, I am assuring us all that the government will not abandon the people, but will continue to confront all these challenges with all the might at our disposal until respite comes our way.”

Aregbesola said the eminent position of Nigeria in the comity of nations and the greatness ahead of the country if held high through work hard would be widely celebrated.

He said, “Our warmth, welcoming spirit and love as well as our unbounded human capital and the richness of our land makes Nigeria unarguably the leading black nation in the world and Africa’s pride and beacon of hope. If we can rally ourselves together to harness our potential, we shall be the greatest nation on the earth.”

The minister declared that celebrating Nigeria’s 62nd Independence anniversary is necessary, but that the safety of the citizenry remains President Muhammadu Buhari’s huge concern

He said, “A country of over 200 million people whose natural talents, grit and passion glitter like the precious diamond that we are; Nigerians are sparkling like diamonds in the pack, whether in academia, science and technology, business, innovation, music, entertainment, fashion or culture.”

Aregbesola admonished Nigerians to use the occasion of the celebration to reflect on the challenges facing the nation and the role individuals can play in addressing them. He urged Nigerians to work hard, shun any attraction to get rich through criminal and other immoral means, saying only through productivity can an individual and the nation create wealth and get rich.

While wishing Nigerians a memorable Independence celebration, he reminded them of the fact that “Our founding fathers, in spite of the differences in faith, tribe and tongue, still came together for Nigeria’s independence.

“Though our nation is going through challenges, especially on security, these challenges are temporary and do not define us. We are defined by the greatness of the Nigerian people in our diversity, strength, ingenuity and resilience.

He said, “We shall overcome all the challenges. A time is coming when we shall look at this period in retrospect and give thanks to the Most High God for the stormy waters we have waded through and the triumphs we have recorded over the challenges that look so huge and gargantuan today,”

He urged Nigerians to shun violence of any kind and be security conscious, asking them to report any suspicious persons or activities to the nearest security agency and through the N-Alert application on Android and IOS, saying “when you see something do N-Alert for prompt response from security agents.”
