Accordingly,he pointed out that the democratic experience which according to him,has not only afforded Nigerians rare opportunity to elect their leaders at the various levels of governance since 1999 brought freedom of speech associated with it.
His words: In socio-economic development, Nigeria has also made appreciable Progress-The nation did not have more than five Universities at Independence but it presently has more 170 Universities that include federal ,States, and private universities and the same story with polytechnics and federal government Colleges Education now called Unity schools.
While wishing Nigerian and Nigerians a happy sixty second Independence anniversary , Andrew Onu Adama reminded that advancement is not easy to come by and the forthcoming 2023 general election provides an ample opportunity to end the era of endless blame on pathetic leadership for the nation’s woes ,so that Nigeria can take her rightful place in the comity of nations by supporting credible candidates like Asiwaju/Shettima Presidential ticket and other candidates under the rostrum of All Progressives Congress for the delivery of development to the country and her citizens.
