THE Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Boss Mustapha, has assured Nigerians that the planned activities for the 58th Independence Celebration will go on in spite of the ongoing labour strike.

“There will also be a dinner/gala night at the State House Banquet Hall to close the celebration at 6 p.m,” he said.
FG will surely have lt bad celebration, because the average masses is not in support of lt, all dey no is sharing the money, while nothing is working in the country
