A lawmaker in the Cross River House of
Assembly, Mr. Hilary Bisong, has advised Nigerians to look beyond the
55th Independence anniversary celebrations and work together for the
nation’s economic advancement.
Bisong, who represents Boki II Constituency in the assembly, gave the advice on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Calabar.
He described October 1 as the most
important celebration in the country’s history, adding that the day was
remarkable because it marked the victory Nigeria’s pre-independence
leaders achieved in 1960.
“It is noteworthy that Nigeria has remained great and stands united as one country in spite the challenges facing the nation.
“We must continue to unite and work together for the growth of this country,” he said.
The
lawmaker said Nigeria’s Independence in 1960 brought expansive growth
in human and infrastructure development, hence the need for the country
to remain united.
He congratulated Nigerians on the 55th Independence celebration, saying the nation had fared well in economic development.
The legislator also called on all
Nigerians to support the present administration in its determination to
fight corruption and security challenges.
