Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, said despite challenges, Nigeria would remain united.
He disclosed this at the opening of ‘Nigeria at 60 Photo Exhibition with the theme “60 Years of Our Togetherness,” on Monday.
According to Mohammed: “The theme of the photo exhibition has been carefully couched to reflect the unity of this great country in the past 60 years, despite its diverse cultures, traditions, practices, languages and challenges.
“Like other countries in the world, it is an incontrovertible fact that Nigeria, over the years, has gone through challenging times, but we must not miss the fact of its resolve to remain one indivisible entity.”
This is coming at a time separatist leaders, Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho have been agitating for the country’s breakup.
While Kanu was apprehended by Nigerian security operatives, Igboho is locked up in Benin Republic.
Meanwhile, Mohammed said his Ministry is using the opportunity provided by the Independence Anniversary celebration to organise a photo exhibition.
He said the exhibition is aimed at informing and educating Nigerian youths on the country’s history, unique heritage, and the secrets behind its unity in diversity.
