challenges of nationhood notwithstanding, Nigeria would attain greatness.
The Senate President said Nigeria
was destined for greatness, adding that the country would overcome its current
challenges
In an independence Day anniversary
message made public on Tuesday, Mark asked Nigerians to renew their faith in
the country .
He also asked his compatriots to
have faith and remain steadfast in promoting peace and unity no matter the
challenge, as, according to him, there was no place like Nigeria on the face of
the earth.
Senator Mark recalled that Nigeria
had undergone challenges, including the 30-month civil war, but, however, said
the challeges were surmountable.
He dismissed insinuation in
some quarters that Nigeria had not made progress since independence, saying
“let us cast our minds back a little and see the number of road networks,
schools, universities, health institutions, telecommunication and a host of
others.
“We may not have been where we want
to be, but we have made appreciable progress and we can do more. All we need to
do is to strengthen our unity as one people with one mission and purpose. The
stable democracy has offered us opportunity to harness our abundant resources
for good,” he said.
