Nigeria @63: Gov. Agbu Kefas Celebrates Independence Anniversary
The Government and People of Taraba State, join millions of fellow Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora in rolling out the drums today to celebrate the 63rd Independence anniversary of our dear country – Nigeria.
Nigeria’s journey into nationhood has certainly not been a smooth sail. There were twists and turns along the way which at some point challenged our unity, resilience and faith in our country but our dogged determination to remain united is the reason we have a country today.
It is also the reason we are celebrating. We congratulate ourselves for this great day in the life of our nation and wish Nigeria greater strides into an era of enduring social, political and economic prosperity.
HAPPY 63rd INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY TO NIGERIA!
