OGHARA/Nigeria: As Nigeria commemorates its 63rd year of independence, many Nigerians are voicing their concerns about the country’s economic situation and the challenges they are facing. Speaking to citizens in Oghara, the headquarters of Ethiope West Local Government, their sentiments echoed a deep sense of disappointment with the nation’s development, leadership, and economic growth.
In their candid remarks, citizens lamented the ongoing hardships in the nation, going so far as to suggest that the Nigerian currency had lost its value in the global business arena. Mr. Efe Morgan, a resident of Oghara, emphasized the failure of Nigeria’s leaders to address the needs of the nation’s citizens, with many struggling to have their basic needs met.
Morgan highlighted the pervasive hunger and insecurity in the land, pointing out that many lives had been lost as a result. Others, who chose to remain anonymous, echoed the sentiment that Nigeria urgently requires economic assistance and effective leadership. They stressed that the key to Nigeria’s recovery lies in competent governance and leadership that prioritizes the welfare of its citizens.
In response to these concerns, Ethiope West Local Government Council Chairman, Hon. Oghenedoro Owoso, urged Nigerians to maintain their patriotism and pray for the peace and progress of the country. While congratulating Nigerians on the 63rd anniversary of independence, Owoso acknowledged the challenges the nation faces but remained optimistic about the future.
Owoso conveyed his message through a press statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Comrade Victor Igherighe, in Jesse town of Ethiope West Local Government Area. He acknowledged that Nigeria may not have reached the level of development expected by its citizens due to the prevailing hardships but emphasized that significant achievements have been made over the years.
He called on Nigerians to exercise patience and remain steadfast, expressing hope that better days lie ahead for the nation.
