Today is the 57th independence anniversary of Nigeria. Nigeria gained its independence from the British Colony on October 1st 1960 and ever since then, the Federal Government has always set aside the first day of October every year as a public holiday in celebration of our independence a country and to also reflect on how far we have come as a country. For this we have our founding fathers, late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, late Sir Ahmadu Bello and late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and several others who set aside their differences to make our independence as a sovereign state, a reality.

Once again, Happy 57th Independence Anniversary, Nigeria.
