……..Happy 65th Independence Anniversary to our great nation, Nigeria!
……..Today, we celebrate Nigeria’s rich heritage, diversity, and resilience.
I’d like to extend my warm felicitations to His Excellency, the President, on this momentous occasion. We at NTAC commend his administration’s efforts in driving reforms that aim to propel our nation’s growth and development, particularly through the 4D foreign policy initiative and the Renewed Hope Agenda which anchored on national rebirth, economic transformation, and collective prosperity. It is a beacon of hope for our nation’s future. We urge all Nigerians to keep faith in this agenda and work together to harness our collective talents, skills, and resources to drive progress and development.
We also salute the bravery and sacrifices of our Armed Forces, who tirelessly work to protect our nation’s sovereignty and ensure peace and security. Their dedication is a testament to the strength and resilience of our great nation.
I’d like to extend special appreciation to the diplomatic community, particularly those who have worked closely with the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC) to promote our nation’s Technical Expertise and Development Diplomacy. Through NTAC, we’ve deployed over 10,000 Technical Experts to more than 40 countries, fostering people-to-people connections, strengthening institutional capacity, and enhancing Nigeria’s standing in the international community.
As we look to the future, let us remain committed to nation-building and work together to build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.
May God bless Nigeria and guide us towards a prosperous and peaceful tomorrow.
Happy Independence Day!
