According to him, ” I heartily salute all the people of our great country Nigeria, as we celebrate the 58th anniversary of the nation’s independence.
“As we mark this historic event, let us passionately reflect on the memory of our broad-minded and visionary founding fathers who labored day and night to secure our freedom on October 1, 1960, thus creating for us a sovereign nation under God.”
Ndoma-Egba who noted that Nigeria has remained together despite challenges, also said that the nation has indeed travailed and triumphed over several challenges and have remained united, resolute and undaunted.
