Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has declared that Nigeria will get to its desired destination of growth and development through sustained adherence to democratic tenets.
The governor, who stated this on Sunday, during a special thanksgiving service to commemorate Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary, held at the Cathedral of St Peter, Aremo, Ibadan, added that despite the myriad of challenges facing the country, all hope is not lost for Nigeria.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated that Makinde was represented at the service by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Olubamiwo Adeosun, who was accompanied by a number of government officials.
While speaking, the governor urged all residents of Oyo State to continue to support and pray for his government to succeed in its avowed determination to uplift the state and take its people from poverty to prosperity.
According to Makinde, the occasion of Nigeria’s 60th anniversary called for thanksgiving, noting that Nigerians have reasons to give thanks to God despite the myriad of challenges, especially the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic, which, according to him, has humbled even the best of the health systems around the world.
