Today is a great day for Nigeria. For the first time it claimed itself independent from Britain in October 1963. This event was the first step to the final process of full Independence. And following a historic moment that marked progress towards the attainment of freedom, it was the Fourth Republic. Of course, there is a lot to do, there are many difficulties in the way of country progress, but the time has already showed that we are worthy descendants of ancient kingdoms and we will succeed in our own country.
