Happy Independence; Our Future Is Bright. - Engr. Olalekan Badmus

As we dive into the last quarter of 2024, family, friends, associates, well-wishers, and members of our great political dynasty- ILERIOLUWA - converged on my residence to usher in the new month of October with prayers and thanksgiving.

We sought God’s continued guidance and strength for the head of our political dynasty, H.E Adegboyega Oyetola, as he climbs the seventh ladder.

Remember, October is a significant month in the life of our dear country as we continue to resiliently paddle the phase of economic reforms, which, of course, is significantly having impact of the people as President Bola Tinubu echoed in his Independence Day speech.

As Nigeria celebrates her 64th Independence Day, we reflect on our nation's remarkable journey. Let us honor the sacrifices of our founding fathers and the resilience of our people.

Our continued existence is powered by the never say die spirit of our people and how we have continued to believe in the prosperity of our dear country. That is the pedestal of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope.

Clerics at this month’s prayers consciously reminded us of how vital it is to continuously support our leaders in prayers for a better country. It is our firm belief that Nigeria will rise amidst its plethora of challenges and be the dreamland of endless possibilities and opportunities.

As we move forward, let's recommit to working together towards a brighter future.

In this new month, let's partner with our leaders to preserve our independence, foster economic growth, and ensure peace and security for all. Together, we can overcome challenges and build a prosperous Nigeria.

May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Happy New Month and Happy Independence to Us.
