Nigeria is waxing strong at 57 —Okorocha
Val Okara, Owerri
Imo state governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, says Nigeria is waxing strong despite certain challenges, saying that with the sound policies of the current administration, such challenges would soon be things of the past.
Okorocha made the observation in a statewide broadcast marking the country’s 57th independence and said it was not the time to discuss the country’s shortcomings but a time to discuss the successes of the Country but what must be done to move the nation forward.
He remarked that all that the nation needs now is to persevere in a unity of purpose.
He said: “In Imo State, we have tried to contribute our quota by providing the much needed dividends of democracy in all we have promised our great people of Imo State. It is a fact that today Imo state has witnessed unprecedented level of development in all dimensions. Worthy to mention is the free education at all levels from primary, secondary to University in this State. Our landscape has changed for good and our city looking better for it.”
Governor Okorocha further stated that though the country is not there yet, but the nation is laying the basic foundation upon which other subsequent governments must build on.
The governor explained that today’s leaders will soon hand over the nation to the younger generation and where they have failed as their parents, the younger ones cannot afford to fail, but must stand firm not to repeat the mistakes of their fathers.
