Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says in line with the vision of its founding fathers, Nigeria had risen to become the most educated and entrepreneurial nation in Africa.
Osinbajo stated this in a message he delivered, entitled: `The vision undefeated,’ on Sunday, at the 61st Independence Anniversary Inter-Denominational Church Service and the 45th Anniversary Service of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
He noted that, 61 years ago, Nigeria’s founding fathers laid out a vision, that the many nations and ethnicity, North and South of the Niger, 300 languages or more, differing tribes, and religions, would, by the grace of God, become one nation. The Vice President also emphasised that the founding fathers had a vision that Nigeria, with its diverse strengths and gifts, would coalesce into a formidable economic and regional force.
In a sermon, the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye said Nigerians had every reason to praise God as it was a divine commandment to praise. He also noted that if Nigerians were united, they would build a great nation.
Also, on his part, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustafa, thanked the Osinbajo, members of the National Assembly, members of the Federal Executive Council, members of the diplomatic corps, clergies, service chiefs and all that graced the service. He thanked God for preserving Nigeria’s unity, despite its numerous challenges.
