The Federal Government on Wednesday declared Monday, October 3, 2022, as a public holiday to mark the nation\u2019s 62nd Independence anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, congratulated all Nigerians on this year\u2019s celebration.<\/p>\n

Aregbesola in a statement signed by the Ministry\u2019s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Belgore, assured of government\u2019s commitment to tackling all the challenges facing the nation and bringing smiles to the faces of all the people, reiterating the eminent position of Nigeria in the comity of nations and the greatness ahead of the country.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur warmth, welcoming spirit and love as well as our unbounded human capital and the richness of our land, make Nigeria unarguably the leading black nation in the world and Africa\u2019s pride and beacon of hope. If we can rally ourselves together to harness our potential, we shall be the greatest nation on the earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cA 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minister<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

While wishing Nigerians a memorable independence celebration, he reminded them of the fact that the founding fathers, in spite of the differences in faith, tribe and tongue, still came together for Nigeria\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

He stated \u201cThough 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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 for the stormy waters we have waded through and the triumphs we have recorded over the challenges that look so huge and gargantuan today,\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister however 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 \u201cwhen you see something do N-Alert for prompt response from security agents\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
