@ 63: "Nigeria has no excuse not to be great" - Akeredolu

Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, has said Nigeria, at 63 years old, has no excuse not to be great, calling on all Nigerians to rise up and tackle  myriads of challenges facing the country.



Akeredolu stated this on Friday at the Jumat Service marking Nigeria’s 63rd independence anniversary at the Central Mosque in Akure.

Represented by Hon. Raimi Aminu, the State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, the Governor said though the country’s challenges were surmountable, but Nigerians should cooperate with the current administration of President Bola Tinubu, GCFR, to solve all problems and bring succour to entire citizenry.


He explained that the Tinubu-led administration was putting in place frantic efforts to ensure that it put smiles on faces of Nigerians and that the  country becomes a place of pride. 


According to him, all that is needed is patience, cooperation and double efforts by the citizens.


“ The task before us is to build a viable and strong economy that would generate a prosperous, progressive and dignified country.


“ We can only attain this by more hard work, enterprise, peace, creativity and defence of our country, ” he said. 


Akeredolu noted that his administration had put in place some palliative measures to cushion effects of fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government, adding that the state government had decided to give out farm inputs to farmers to boost food production  in the state, whilst payment of registration and consultancy fees had been put on hold in all government hospitals in the State. 


The Governor promised that the state government would not spare efforts at improving the lots of people in the state, asking the citizens to eschew evil and defend the State.


Earlier, the Chief Imam of Akure, Sheikh Abdulhakeem Yayi Akorede, asked the Tinubu-led government to fix the country’s economy and infrastructure in earnest so that Nigerians’ suffering would not linger. 


Akorede said it was pitiable that Nigerians were going through excruciating pains as a result of unbearable cost of living and decay infrastructure.


He stated that he had confidence in Tinubu’s agenda in putting an end to multifaceted problems of the country, describing the president as a listening person. 


He also commended the Ondo State Government for the return of school free shuttle scheme, saying it would go a long way in cushioning effects of transportation by students in the state.
