In the western part of Africa lies a country with over 200 million people, comprised of 250 ethnic groups, with Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo being the major ones. Nigeria, often referred to as the giant of Africa, boasts significant economic size, vast land mass, and a rich cultural heritage. Acquiring independence from Great Britain in 1960, Nigeria transitioned into a federal republic in 1963 and is now divided into 36 states, with Abuja serving as its capital.
Our Executive President, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, assumed power after the 2023 general election, alongside other governors across various states during the same period. While the refinement and sale of crude oil have historically been major sources of income for the nation, Nigeria possesses abundant agricultural potential and a sizable labor force.
Despite these resources, Nigeria currently faces challenges such as a recession caused by high inflation rates, particularly against the dollar, leading to increased prices of goods and services nationwide. Much of these challenges stem from issues with leadership and governance, including mismanagement and unfair allocation of the country's financial resources.
However, amidst these difficulties, there remains hope for a better and greater Nigeria. As Nigerians, we believe in the resilience of our nation and its people, and we hold onto the vision of a prosperous future where Nigeria once again shines brightly on the African continent and beyond.
