Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has urged Nigerians to focus on the bright future as the country marks its 65th Independence Anniversary.

In a statement by his media aide, Leke Baiyewu, the Speaker said Nigeria has come a long way through a chequered history, while the years ahead promise greater unity and prosperity for all.

While noting that God has indeed blessed the country with immeasurable human and natural resources, the Speaker called for collective efforts by all stakeholders towards building a nation regardless of religious, ethnic and political differences.

According to him, Nigeria remains on the right path with the ongoing implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Abbas expressed optimism that the country remains the Giant of Africa and is bound to reclaim its position as the biggest economy on the continent.

He equally charged Nigerians to remain undaunted by the security and socio-economic challenges, calling for more prayers and patriotism as they remain law-abiding.

The Speaker assured Nigerians of the 10th House’s commitment to providing accountable leadership, good governance and dividends of democracy to the people especially at the grassroots.
