In his Independence Day message, Olukoya urged Nigerians to remain committed to the progress and development of the country, stressing that independence goes beyond a historical milestone and carries a responsibility for every citizen to contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
“Independence Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on our journey as a nation, appreciate our achievements and renew our commitment to the Nigeria we want to build,” Olukoya said.
He identified Nigeria’s people, particularly its vibrant youth population, as one of the country’s greatest assets, citing their creativity, determination and resilience.

The PWA Secretary-General also called for greater tolerance, peace and mutual respect among Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic, religious or regional backgrounds.
