Published by

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said that the current socioeconomic situation of the country was a result of years of misguided policies, leadership failures, and poor governance among others.

He stated this while delivering his address during a low-key celebration to mark the 64th Independence Day celebration of the country, held at the Arcade Ground, Governor’s Office, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta, on Tuesday.

While reassuring Nigerians of the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to reversing the trajectory with good policies that would be beneficial to the people.

He said, “We aligned with the Federal Government’s efforts towards economic recovery, substantial efforts are being made to navigate these trying times.

” The President understands that governance is not only about policies but about addressing the needs and aspirations of the people. He is irrevocably committed to steering the nation through these challenges.

“It is this sincerity of purpose that fuels the success of the “Renewed Hope” agenda. The Federal Government remains steadfast in its commitment to creating a brighter future for all Nigerians, ensuring that prosperity and well-being prevail across the nation.”

Governor Abiodun saluted Nigerians for their resilience in weathering the economic quagmire, security issues, and many more, assuring that the country would surely overcome all her challenges.

“As citizens, this is a time for deep reflection and prayer for the continued progress and stability of our nation. The journey of nation-building is continuous, marked by highs and lows.

“As the esteemed Nelson Mandela once said, “After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” But this is not a time to lose hope. In adversity, nations are tested, and I firmly believe that with the resilience Nigerians are known for, we will overcome these economic challenges and emerge stronger,” he said.
